ORLANDO, Fla., May 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Fresh Express^®, the brand leader in value added salads, is celebrating National Salad Month with a series of promotional activities throughout the month of May, anchored by an online and social contest that provides salad inspiration and encourages consumers to create a new salad every day.

With more than 100 varieties of fresh and healthy salads ranging from leafy salad greens like romaine and baby kale to premium, chef-crafted salad kits, such as the Bacon and Bleu Chopped Kit, and more than 330 online recipes, Fresh Express makes it easy for consumers to find, review and enjoy delicious, nutritious and convenient salads every day.

Every day throughout the month of May, Fresh Express will share a different salad recipe on their social channels and encourage consumers to submit a photo of their salad creation with the hashtag #FreshSaladCreations for a chance to win Fresh Express products.

At the end of the month, Fresh Express will select three grand prize winners to receive more than $1,000 worth of free product and Fresh Express swag. Additionally, Fresh Express will identify 144 total runners up, weekly, and daily winners to win prizes totaling over $25,000.
