About CHEF SALAD
Archer Farms Chef Salad is a refrigerated ready-to-eat packaged salad sold under Target's legacy Archer Farms private-label brand, which has been largely phased out and replaced by the Good & Gather line since 2019. This entry represents a legacy USDA formulation for a pre-packaged complete salad kit featuring iceberg lettuce, deli meat proteins, Swiss cheese, and ranch dressing.
The primary ingredient is iceberg lettuce, followed by ranch dressing made with canola oil and low-fat buttermilk, with corn starch and tapioca starch as thickeners and disodium phosphate listed as a preservative. The turkey breast in this formulation contains sodium phosphate, sodium diacetate, sodium nitrite, potassium lactate, and sodium erythorbate — a conventional cured deli meat profile using direct nitrite addition, as opposed to the "no nitrites added" celery-juice-based approach found in more recent Good & Gather reformulations. The ham component similarly uses sodium nitrite and potassium lactate. Allergens include dairy (buttermilk, Swiss cheese), eggs (egg yolk in dressing), and wheat is not present in the listed ingredient declaration for this particular formulation.
At 118 calories per 100g, this is a relatively low calorie-density product compared to other dressing-heavy salad kits, possibly reflecting a lower dressing ratio or lighter oil-base. Per 100g macros are 7.27g protein, 3.18g carbohydrates, and 9.09g fat, with 0.9g fiber. Protein density is moderate at over 7g per 100g. This product is not vegetarian. The legacy Archer Farms branding makes this formulation of historical interest from a Target private-label brand evolution perspective.
