Encino, California-based Gelson’s has introduced two new Mediterranean-inspired salads for the Gelson’s Kitchen packed with probiotics and antioxidants: Jessica’s Pomegranate Chicken Salad and Jessica’s Super Antioxidant Chopped Salad.
Created exclusively for Gelson’s by in-house dietitian Jessica Siegel, both salads are now available at all Gelson’s stores. The retailer is introducing these new salads for consumers to make better food choices and keep New Year’s Resolutions in 2022.
“I created the Super Antioxidant Chopped Salad many years ago to help our customers enjoy a combination of antioxidant-rich foods all in one vegetarian dish,” said Siegel.
“I was inspired to make the salad even healthier by using Greek yogurt to add protein and probiotics and increase the antioxidant power of the recipe by adding a boost of turmeric. The result is just as delicious as ever,” she said.
Shoppers now have the added benefit of an even more nutritious and microbiome-supportive salad.
“The Pomegranate Chicken Salad features nutrient-rich crunchy pomegranate arils to complement the juicy and tender chicken breast. Instead of mayonnaise, I use Greek yogurt to create protein-packed creaminess,” said Siegel.
This chicken salad can be enjoyed on its own, in a wrap or alongside Jessica’s Super Antioxidant Chopped Salad. The new recipe is savory, sweet and tangy.
Siegel also offers free virtual consultations to customers seeking advice on regulating inflammation by educating them on healthier food options and assessing ways to improve their nutritional goals.
In addition to the two new salads, Gelson’s currently offers a myriad of ready-made salads for customers to enjoy at home.
Gelson’s currently operates 27 full-service specialty grocery stores in Southern California. Each Gelson’s Market features the full amenities of a traditional supermarket, with the local flavor of a neighborhood market.
