Sizzling Grill Salads

A MENU CONCEPT THAT’S GOT IT ALL:Buns and breads are gone from the diets of many carb and calorie conscious customers. But the countless empty burger and sandwich rolls you see in your food waste containers attest to the fact that many people still appreciate the heart of the grill sandwich, if not the starch.

Sizzling Grill Salads parlay this trend into a crowd-pleasing menu promotion that is easy to produce while delivering an appetizing, hearty, and satisfying finished product.

By removing the bun from the equation, you have a lot of room to add a variety of great tasting salad toppings to the mix. And it’s a natural fit with the US Foods® Serve Good™ product line – supporting animal care and waste reduction, and including sustainably sourced seafood, non-GMO items, USDA Organic items and responsible disposables.

Sizzling Grill Salads is a menu concept that’s got it all!

ON TRENDWe’re kicking off the promotion with four flavorful and responsibly sourced seafood selections from Summer Scoop:• Harbor Banks® Argentine Red Shrimp – Participating in a Fisheries Improvement Project (FIP)• Harbor Banks Barramundi – In process for Four-Star BAP (Best Aquaculture Practices) certification• Harbor Banks Beer Battered Alaska Cod – Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) Certified, Wild-Caught • Monarch® MSC Certified Skipjack Tuna – Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) Certified

POPULARFlavorful proteins – in this case 4 seafood selections from Summer Scoop – served on beds of fresh, organic spring greens and topped to the taste of each customer offer:• Salads that even non-salad eaters enjoy!• Flavorful and satisfying without the feeling of being stuffed• Strong appeal of responsible sourcing• High level of visual temptation

VERSATILEIts introductory promotion can easily become a concept for a cash operation’s stand-alone retail station or fit nicely into a college board program, where it can be run at the grill or at the exhibition cooking station as a special event: • Serve for lunch or dinner • Expandable to feature burgers, chicken, and other popular grill items• Doesn’t require high level on-site culinary capabilities • Perfect for take-out

SIZZLING GRILL SALADS – OPERATOR'S GUIDE SPECS:• Recipes and instructions for each Sizzling Grill Salads promotion• Chef’s Tips for setting up the grill station • Mise en place for each featured protein • Easy-to-follow customer ordering instructions for display at point of service• Recommendations for other Sizzling Grill Salads menu options featuring a variety of previously introduced

Scoop proteins• Calculations included for average food cost per serving and recommended selling price for cash operations

GETTING STARTEDThe Sizzling Grill Salads promotion can be offered for a single day or for several days depending on the size of your facility and daily customer counts.

Sizzling Grill Salads can be offered at the grill station, but if you decide to utilize the grill area for the promotion, make it an exclusive menu offer (only offer Sizzling Grill Salads on the days of the promotion, not other typical grill menu items). You can always offer burgers and fries as self-service in a hot grab ’n’ go unit.

If your servery is equipped with an exhibition cooking station or chef’s table, either could be the perfect spot to run the promotion, too.

As a general rule, it’s best to focus on the promotional menu at the station you select. Keep production simple and menu options limited. In most cases when we try to do too much, we end up not doing anything very well at all.

For example, a two-day promotion opens with a choice of freshly grilled Harbor Banks® Barramundi fillet or Harbor Banks Flour Dusted Alaska Sole fillet atop crisp, flavorful greens.

On day two, the customer’s choice of Harbor Banks Argentine Red Shrimp or Monarch® MSC Certified Skipjack Tuna served on a bed of crisp, organic spring greens and topped with different complementary ingredients plus dressing, all attractively displayed for easy eating.

SALAD GREENS – A FRESH STARTThe foundation for all great salads begins with the greens.1. Salad Green Base #One starts with Cross Valley Farms® Organic Spring Mix and Cross Valley Farms

Spinach Blend for added flavor and nutrition. 2. Salad Green Base #Two is an interesting combination of moist and tender chopped romaine and

peppery arugula that will complement our seafood salads. 3. Salad Green Base #Three consists of organic spring greens tossed with Cross Valley Farms

Chopped Broccoli Leaves for robust body and a touch of quinoa for a crunchy, savory taste. This combination will pair well with our sizzling burgers and beef based salads. The Cross Valley Farms Organic Spring Mix can also be tossed with the customer’s choice of brown rice, barley, or lentils, adding texture and taste.

Our selection of salad add-ons will include both hot and cold salad accompaniments and they will complement each specific protein. The customer’s choice of salad dressing should be made at the beginning of the order with the station attendant applying the dressing with a squeeze bottle and mixing it in the bowl.

ORDERING INSTRUCTIONS – SIMPLE AND EASYSteps for ordering will be as follows: 1. Choose a Sizzling Grill Salad 2. Choose type of base salad greens3. Choose salad dressing4. Enjoy!

PROMOTIONAL OPPORTUNITIES – MULTIPLE OPTIONSEach of these promotions can be offered for a single day or multiple days depending on the size of your facility and the popularity of the salad.

Salad dressings are customer choice. Of course an Asian Vinaigrette would pair nicely with the grilled Harbor Banks® Barramundi salad, and you may want to consider making house dressings that will complement the other salad menu options. However, purchased salad dressings that you have in stock (Ranch, Blue Cheese, Italian Vinaigrette, Balsamic Vinaigrettes, etc.) are more than acceptable.

Always have kosher salt and cracked black pepper grinders, plus lemon juice, EVOO, and Balsamic and red wine vinegar on hand at the station.

SIZZLING SALAD ADD-ONS – ACCOMPANIMENTS THAT COUNTThe salad add-ons for each Sizzling Grill Salad were selected because they complement the flavor and taste profile of the topping protein. If a customer doesn’t want one or more of the menued salad toppings, of course, you could happily make a substitute, but only from the mise en place that is available and displayed at the Sizzling Grill Salad station.

PREPARING AND COOKING HARBOR BANKS® BARRAMUNDI FILLETS Harbor Banks Barramundi is a skin-on fish with a mild buttery flavor and a meaty texture. The fish comes frozen with a pre-scored skin to prevent curling and it will hold up well in the cooking process.

1. Remove from package and thaw under refrigeration2. Cut the fillet in half on an angle creating two approximately

equal portions3. Season lightly with kosher salt and white pepper4. Grill or sauté the fish over high heat in a little blended oil5. Press the fish lightly into the pan or griddle; it’s important to crisp

the skin while cooking6. Do not over-handle the fish. Flip only once to finish cooking the

other side7. Remove from heat and serve immediately, skin side up

PACKAGING – ON CHINA OR TO GOSizzling Grill Salads can go upscale, plated attractively on china, or be served casually in disposable packaging. Shown is the Chef's Line® All Natural Umami Turkey Patty Sizzling Grill Salad in a black, disposable plastic base with a clear lid. If packaging cost is a concern, don’t use it as an excuse not to run the promotion. You can plate these delicious salads in china foam clam shells and they will still look amazing.

CHEF’S TIPS• Manage the mise en place. Only have those items on the serving line that are

designed to accompany each of these salads. Too many items on the line will slow the ordering and salads assemble process.

• Have dressing in squeeze bottles for speed and convenience. • Cook all proteins as close to ordering as possible. • Have all roasted vegetables prepped and cooked on the evening shift the day

before your promotion. This will allow them to properly chill prior to service. • Always have kosher salt and cracked black pepper grinders, plus lemon juice,

EVOO, and Balsamic and red wine vinegar on hand at the station. • If a customer wants a salad dressing, be sure to mix it evenly with the greens prior

to assembling the salad.• Do not over-dress the salads.
