“Our Inspired Salads are designed by Canadian Top Chefs and are crafted with premium ingredients and freshly made dressings. They truly are salads that inspire your taste buds,” exclaimed Kelly Shabatowski, Commercial Director of Inspired Greens, pointing out that the lineup responds to a need for flavor and convenience alike.

Fifty-six products from 42 companies were featured this year, according to a press release, and winners were chosen by a panel of judges from across the industry.

Handmade in Calgary, AB, using many locally sourced ingredients, the Inspired Greens line comes in an eye-catching hexagon-shaped package. Salad components are kept separate to maximize freshness and extend shelf-life, while offering a Top Seal-style that reduces plastic up to 30 percent.
