Beyond ingredient variety, nutritional value, taste and ease of preparation, Charlotte, North Carolina-based Dole Food Company Inc. has added another selection criteria to the 12 recipes featured during its “Healthier by Dole” salad recipe series in May: the alignment of the stars.
The produce leader has released a dozen original recipes linked to the specific astrological personalities of the 12 Zodiac signs. The recipes are part of “Healthier by Dole,” a monthly recipe series that provides healthy, easy menu alternatives for big and small holidays and eating occasions.
According to Melanie Marcus, Dole’s nutrition and health communications manager, this month’s message is meant to reach those who may not be following a regular routine. “From the Virgo who appreciates a more structured bowl of greens to the Scorpio looking for more daring ingredients to the Gemini conflicted between sweet and savory, we’ve got your profile covered.”
Here are Marcus’ 12 recipe signs of the Zodiac in honor of National Eat More Fruits and Vegetables Day, an annual holiday observed on the Thursday before Memorial Day, which is May 26.
