The First-Ever Museum of Salad Debuts in New York May 1; Dole Fresh Vegetables Endows Exhibit to Kick Off National Salad Month
NEW YORK, April 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Dole Fresh Vegetables, Inc. the world's number one supplier of fresh produce, debuted the Dole Museum of Salad at New York City's South Street Seaport in Lower Manhattan today. The morning's ribbon cutting ceremony kicks off the month-long celebration of "National Salad Month" to draw attention to the healthful benefits of eating salad.

"Sammy Salad," the Dole Salad mascot, and student chefs from the New York Restaurant School cut the "Cordon Bleu" ribbon officially opening the museum. Eric Schwartz, President of Dole Fresh Vegetables, hosted the event. "To focus the public's attention on healthy eating and the importance of salads in the diet, we created an interactive way to provide a lively learning experience for people of all ages."

The Dole Museum of Salad, which has free admission, offers visitors a hands-on, interactive tour of the booming business of salad from seed to the dinner table. Colorful displays feature presentations on the lore and romance of the history of salad, the unusual origins of such classic American salads as the Caesar, the Cobb and the Waldorf, and the precise steps taken to provide fresh and safe pre-packaged salads to consumers. An interactive "Salad Factory" computer program where museum guests can create their own virtual salad, a hands-on examination of state-of-the-art salad packaging and a presentation of the Salinas Valley "Giants" environmental art are also featured.

New York City was selected as the premiere location of the Dole Museum of Salad, says Schwartz, "Because New York is one of the world's great culinary centers, and a desirable destination for world travelers and vacationing families. What more appropriate place to present such a fun exhibition than in the Big Apple?" Following the month-long exhibit in New York, the museum will relocate to its permanent home in California's Salinas Valley, the "Salad Bowl of the World."

The Dole Museum of Salad is located at Pier 17, 89 South Street, New York at the South Street Seaport. The museum will be open Wednesday through Saturday 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Sunday 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., through May 31. For on-site information, call 212-732-8257, ext. 0.
