Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
  • Seafood 145° F |
  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |

Customize It Instructions

  • If using roasted chicken breast, remove from packaging and microwave until warm, 1-2 minutes. Add to salad and combine.

  • If using cooked beef strips, remove from packaging and microwave until warm, 1-2 minutes. Add to salad and combine.

  • If using shrimp, pat dry and season all over with a pinch of salt and pepper. Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil. Add shrimp and cook undisturbed until seared on one side, 2-3 minutes. Flip, and cook until shrimp reaches a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 1-2 minutes. Serve on salad.

  • If using flank steak, separate steak strips into a single layer and pat dry. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil. Add steak strips and stir occasionally until no pink remains, 4-6 minutes. Serve on salad.
