Ready-Set-Serve Bistro Butter Blend

Our Ready-Set-Serve® Bistro Butter Blend is the latest in chef-driven innovation. Developed by our member and customer chefs across the U.S. and Canada during our annual R&D Chef Summit, this blend perfectly captures current trends and the needs of busy kitchens. It combines crunchy green leaf, velvety red butter lettuce, and slightly bitter green oak, creating a salad base that not only provides elegant height and vibrant color but also balances flavors and textures for a versatile dining experience.  

1. Time-Saving Convenience: Pre-washed and pre-cut, this blend is ready to use straight from the bag, reducing labor and increasing efficiency. With 100% yield and zero waste, you save time, labor, and money while focusing on what you do best—creating memorable dishes.  
2. Versatile and Profitable: Perfect for any salad that would typically use iceberg or romaine, the Bistro Butter Blend enhances light vinaigrettes and creamy dressings, making it a flexible year-round option. Its strong structure can hold up hearty proteins or roasted vegetables while still tender enough for delicate ingredients.  
3. Sophisticated Plate Presentation: The toothsome texture of red butter and green oak lettuce gives your dishes significant height and elegance, helping you achieve plate coverage beyond what romaine alone offers. The slightly sweet flavor of the blend also pairs beautifully with salty, bitter, and umami-rich toppings, giving you room for creative and refined compositions.  

We know the pressures you face in the back of the house, which is why we’ve designed this blend to be as labor-saving as it is delicious. Grown by our trusted grower partners, the Bistro Butter Blend ensures year-round availability and consistent quality. Plus, our eco-friendly, recyclable packaging further reflects our commitment to sustainability.
