Consumers in the U.S. have certain preferences for their entree salad components, but sometimes they wish for more variety on menus. While people like having their region’s famous toppings on their salads, diners would also like to see additional proteins and other ingredients they are not currently finding on salad menus. Operators must decide which ingredients to include in these popular entrees. To help with menu and recipe development, the Litehouse Foodservice Team conducted a survey among 5,000 entree salad consumers, and developed this Essential Entree Guide.
