Each is single-serve — ranging from 9 to 10.75 ounces — with 13- to 19 grams of protein and 280 to 410 calories. Availability is currently limited to Albertsons
Group stores and Costco in California, with plans for national distribution later this year.

Varieties include: Caesar Salad with Grilled Chicken, Sonora Inspired Salad with Grilled Chicken, Spinach Salad with Grilled Chicken and Uncured Bacon, and Spanish Inspired Chef Salad with Smoked Ham. These salads are currently in Publix stores in the Southeast United States.
