The pasta salad mixes will be sold in taller bags for a sleeker look with greater shelf appeal, according to Trisha Anderson, Frontier Soups’ founder, “The bags will remain clear cellophane to allow shoppers to view the salads’ premium ingredients and interesting pasta shapes, such as orecchiette, radiatorre, cavatappi and gemelli,” Anderson said.
The Italian durum wheat pasta retains its shape with a more consistent cooking time and a superior taste and texture, she said.
Frontier Soups line of pasta salads includes:
Country French Pasta Salad™ flavors cavatappi pasta, artichokes, purple onion, asiago or Romano cheese and (optional) Prosciutto with tarragon, lemon pepper and a lemon vinaigrette.
Mediterranean Pasta Salad™ dresses up gemelli pasta with black olives, feta cheese and Greek seasonings.
Sesame Asian Pasta Salad™ combines radiatorre pasta with fresh spinach leaves and an Asian-spiced soy sauce vinaigrette.
