Salad Ingredient Combinations + A Few Treats

Jumping right into some recent salads and treats!

Let’s start with salads as I have good salad ingredient combinations to share.

Even when I think about trying Sweet Green again, I still end up at Chopt. At this point, I actually have no idea what is in my Chopt salads since I hit “reorder” in the app so often.

If I had to guess, it involves crispy chickpeas, avocado, tomato, roasted Brussels sprouts, a few other ingredients, and the lemon tahini dressing.

Isn’t this salad combination colorful? Since Trader Joe’s was out of romaine lettuce (again), I bought the Organic Ready Set Salad blend and a Barbeque Ranch Salad Kit instead.

For this colorful salad, I mixed the two salad blends together and added the following:

Roasted Japanese Potatoes
Roasted Tomatoes
Cucumbers
Onion
Chickpeas
Avocado

Let’s call the below salad a Thanksgiving leftovers salad. My aunt sent me home with leftovers from Thanksgiving so I used the following to make this salad.

Salad Blend (from Thanksgiving)
Broccoli (from Thanksgiving)
String Beans (from Thanksgiving)
Stuffing (from Thanksgiving)
Cucumbers
Tomatoes
Chickpeas
Balsamic Vinaigrette

I say this a lot lately but seriously, the red lentil pasta from Trader Joe’s really makes for the easiest dinner.

On the side for this particular pasta dinner, I made a salad using the Organic Ready To-Eat Salad Blend. I think this organic salad blend includes kale, carrots, and different types of cabbage. I also added tomatoes, cucumbers, onion, avocado, and balsamic vinaigrette.

I really like the Organic Ready To Eat Salad blend and will continue to buy it now each week.
