Ready to see (and taste) what’s new? Here are just a few must-try gourmet to-go items now available at the deli counter!
1. New York Sandwich
Little else satisfies cravings like a great sandwich! Our popular New York Sandwich is just as filling as it is delicious. We roast our New York striploin in-house to bring out its rich flavor and juicy texture, then pile it onto a sweet Dutch crunch bun with caramelized onions, arugula, and a generous spread of habanero aioli.
The striploin cut (also known as the New York strip) is known for its balance of tenderness and texture. It has a good amount of marbling (fat) that melts when cooked, giving it a buttery flavor and moisture. The aioli adds gentle heat while the onions and greens round it all out with subtle sweetness. Plus, arugula is a great source of essential vitamins and minerals like calcium, iron, magnesium, and more.4
Ingredients: Dutch crunch bun, roasted New York striploin, habanero aioli, caramelized onions, and arugula.
2. Peach, Farro, & Quinoa Salad
Our peach, farro, and quinoa salad is packed with nutrition and striking flavors. While hearty grains create a protein-rich base, juicy peaches, red onion, and celery add natural sweetness and crunch. Bright anchovies, capers, lemon, and red wine vinegar add a touch of acidity. Tossed with peppery arugula, fresh herbs, chili flakes, and cheese, this complex dish is just as bold as it is refreshing.
Beyond tasting great, these ancient grains are a great source of fiber, antioxidants, magnesium, and other vital nutrients. Quinoa is also a complete protein, which means it contains all 9 essential amino acids that the human body can’t produce on its own.1 Talk about nutritious!
Ingredients: Arugula, peaches, farro, red quinoa, carrots, red onion, celery, herbs, olive and canola oil, chili flakes, anchovies, red wine vinegar, garlic, capers, lemon, salt and black pepper, and cheese.
3. Roasted Red Beet Salad
A feast for the eyes and the palate, our roasted beet salad is boldly packed with nutrients. The beets give it a natural sweetness that pairs beautifully with the bitter crunch of radicchio and arugula. Bright oranges and sherry vinegar brighten up the taste and provide subtle acidity, while fennel, mustard, and black pepper give it a zesty kick. It’s all topped off with creamy blue cheese and a handful of walnuts for a satisfying crunch.
Aside from tasting great, this salad is also high in nutritional value. Radicchio contains powerful compounds called anthocyanins that help fight inflammation and oxidative stress.2 Red beets are also a great source of manganese, which helps support metabolism, brain function, and more.3
Ingredients: Red beets, radicchio, fennel, arugula, orange, blue cheese, olive oil, canola oil, sherry vinegar, sugar, onion, mustard, salt, black pepper, and walnuts.
4. Ginger Noodle Salad
Our ginger noodle salad is light, bright, and just the perfect amount of spicy. We toss noodles with veggies like celery, carrots, green onions, and red bell peppers that add flavor and a satisfying crunch. Fresh cilantro brings in a subtle herbal note, while chili flakes and ginger give it a warm, zingy kick.
Aside from adding great flavor, ginger also has powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits.5 Red bell peppers are rich in antioxidants, as well as vitamins A, C, and E.6 So if you’re looking for a salad that’s nutritious and delicious, you’ve found one!
Ingredients: Noodles, celery, carrots, cilantro, green onions, red bell peppers, sesame seeds, soy sauce, rice vinegar, ginger, sesame oil, olive oil, and chili flakes.
5. Strawberry and Spinach Salad
If summer could be a meal, it would be our strawberry spinach salad! We layer sweet strawberries into a bed of spinach with candied pistachios, Asiago cheese, and red onion before tossing it all with a tangy poppy seed vinaigrette. It’s the perfect balance of sweet and savory, great for a sunny picnic, a light lunch, or a side dish for a gathering with friends.
In addition to being mouthwateringly tasty, it also has incredible nutritional value. Spinach is considered a superfood for being so dense in essential vitamins and minerals that support brain function, immune health, and more.7,8 Strawberries are also great sources of antioxidants and Vitamin C.9 So, if you’re in need of a tasty way to incorporate more fruits and veggies into mealtime, this is it!
Ingredients: Spinach, strawberries, candied pistachios, Asiago cheese, red onion, and poppy seed vinaigrette.
