The Unusual Ingredient Trader Joe's Added To Its Official Salad Kit
Even though salad is a much-touted healthy meal, sometimes it's just a pain to figure out what ingredients you need, chop everything up, and throw it all together in the right ratios. Fortunately, you can find a quick and easy salad kit at pretty much any grocery store — Aldi, Walmart, Whole Foods, Kroger, Trader Joe's, etc.
Trader Joe's, in particular, offers many options when it comes to salad kits. According to Spoon University, the retailer sells at least 25 different salad kits, including broccoli and kale slaw, a harvest blend, southwestern chopped salad, mozzarella and tomato, and classic Greek. Most kits cost between $3.49 and $3.99 (via Trader Joe's).
These kits contain various combinations of ingredients, often giving each salad kit its own unique flavor profile and health benefits. For instance, per Well + Good, the chain's kale and edamame salad is high in fiber and helps lower cholesterol, while the Mexicali-inspired salad is packed with protein and will keep you feeling full longer. If we didn't already have enough choices, Trader Joe's recently released yet another salad kit, and this one would appeal to anyone who can't get enough crunchy foods.
The crunch is real with this Trader Joe's salad kit
August brought many new snacking options to Trader Joe's, including a Dill-icious Chopped Salad Kit. Like many of Trader Joe's other salad kits, this one, too, sells for $3.99. However, this particular kit scores bonus points for its extreme crunch.
According to Kitchn, this salad includes cauliflower, radish, cabbage, lettuce, and kale, as well as dill seasoning, cucumber ranch dressing, and Trader Joe's dill pickle potato chips. Trader Joe's List on Instagram also sung the salad kit's praises, saying it "pairs nicely with everything."
Others echoed this sentiment and shared their own Dill-icious meal ideas. One person said they topped the salad with Trader Joe's grilled lemon pepper chicken breast, while another commented that they added fried dill falafel balls. Someone else summed up the kit by saying, "So good and different!" Well, there you have it. The internet has spoken, and people love the addition of dill pickle potato chips to their salad.
