By month's end, Alaska Airlines passengers sitting in the main cabin will have access to a plant-based and gluten-free dish — The Best Laid Plants — from Evergreens, a Seattle-based fast-casual restaurant serving salads, wraps and bowls.

"We're thrilled to partner with Alaska Airlines to bring one of our most craveable, plant-based bowls to the skies," David Kairis, head chef at Evergreens, said in a company press release. "This is about proving that healthy food can be bold, satisfying and something travelers will actually look forward to."

The bowl, available for pre-order on flights over 1,100 miles, features Chimichurri Tofu, avocado, quinoa and a side of Mango Habanero Dressing.

"This fresh, flavorful dish is not only a healthy choice — it's good for the planet," David Rodriguez, food and beverage planning and programs manager at Alaska Airlines, said in the release. "We created the Best Laid Plants grain bowl to prove plant-based food doesn't have to be bland. After extensive taste testing with employees and focus groups — even the most dedicated carnivores agree: it's a winner."
