Elote Chopped Salad Kit

"You’ve put Mexican-style street corn in a salad kit, Trader Joe’s? Well, not exactly. But our new Elote Chopped Salad Kit is packed with ingredients that evoke the flavors of this creamy, crunchy classic in every bite. Really. It begins with a mixed veggie base that includes chopped green & red cabbage, green leaf lettuce, carrots, kale, green onion, and of course, crispy, dried, sweet corn kernels. We add cornbread crumbles, seasoned with smoked paprika, to add even more crunch and a little bit of heat; crumbled cotija cheese delivers creamy flavor and adds a soft texture to the mix. The real magic here lies in the creamy, elote-inspired dressing that’s a little tart and a little sweet, with hints of jalapeño and lime. Tossed together, you won’t think you’re eating elote from a street vendor, but you will feel that same energy in every forkful of greens. Add your favorite protein (we like chicken or shrimp) and a sliced avocado to make this a complete meal. Grab a corn tortilla and heat it ever so slightly, then fill it with this satisfying mix—a taco to remember, for sure! If you’re entertaining a crowd, spoon some into Elote Corn Chip Dippers and serve as bite-sized appetizers."
