Harvest the fall season with this salad kit
Even more fall goodies from Trader Joe’s! This seems to be their favorite season, feels like each week there’s an army of fall themed new things in stock! They just keep coming. This is the Harvest apple salad kit and I had to try it. Huge fan of their salad kits, love that it includes everything and I get about two salad out of each when paired with protein. Amazing for the price and a healthy meal at that! Let’s see how this one stacks up.
What’s it about?
Bag has a fall look to it and nutrition is pretty good on this one! 450 for the full bag, so using my half trip its just 225 per salad (plus protein) . For that to include a creamy type dressing is great! All the macros are pretty decent with nothing being overwhelming, splitting it in two definitely helps though. While delicious I just cant use 500+ calories on a single salad, much rather have a sandwich for that :p
What does it come with?
A lot! Feels like this kit has more toppings to me, or at least meaningful ones. The spice in the dill kit seems like a throw away, never count things like that. You get some amazing unexpected cheddar cheese (win!), dried apples, pecans, and the dressing. All of these are yummy on their own, taste tested them 🙂 Love that it’s all real toppings for this included, I added some tomatoes and cucumber since I had them as well. Cant really include fresh veggies in these, but these toppings are a win for the value.
How is it?
Really good! Big fan of this one! I added some chicken sausage after seeing it on Instagram and the flavors went so well together. The dressing is my only iffy part, its a little sweet. Not the biggest fan but you get a ton of lettuce and all the other toppings are amazing. Helps make this a filling salad and for $3.99 can’t go wrong. I’d give this an 8/10, might use a different dressing next time but love how complete and easy this kit is.
