Instagram Is Diving Into The Trader Joe's Elote Chopped Salad Kit
When lunchtime comes around, one of the easiest things to do is to whip together some fresh greens from a salad kit. What's better than a nutritious and tasty meal that's ready in minutes? While there are many great options out there, some of our favorite salad kits are from Trader Joe's, which offers a wide range of ready-made greens, depending on what you're in the mood to eat. If you're craving a Caesar salad, Trader Joe's has a salad kit for that. Or, if you want to try some pickle-flavored veggies, the store's Dill-icious Salad Kit has got you covered.
But if you're looking for something even more daring, the Elote Chopped Salad Kit will be just right for you. As the name suggests, the salad is inspired by elote, which is a delicious grilled Mexican street corn. Trader Joe's shared a picture of the item on Instagram, and it sure looks mouthwatering. It's no wonder so many people commented about their excitement for the kit. Here's what folks had to say.

So what exactly is in the Elote Chopped Salad Kit, you ask? Well, here's how the grocery store chain describes it, via the caption of the Instagram post. For the base, the salad has chopped green and red cabbage, lettuce, carrots, kale, and green onions. The toppings include dried sweet corn kernels, paprika-seasoned cornbread crumbles, and crumbled Cotija cheese. "Nothing compares to authentic elote from a street vendor, but you'll feel the #Elote energy in every forkful of greens," the caption reads.
If you ask us, that sounds delectable. And, it seems like it is because people who have tried the kit expressed their appreciation for the item in the comments. "This is possibly the greatest salad kit you've ever made! I'm addicted to the dressing! Please keep it permanently stocked!" one fan wrote. Another person concurred and shared some recommendations for how to make the salad kit more filling. "Soooooo good with Soyrizo and avocado for protein! Been obsessed with it for weeks," they commented.
