Veggies & Greens Salad Kit

"A few words of explanation… At Trader Joe’s, we’re known for the clever, creative names we come up with for our products…well, some of our products. We thought we’d take a moment to explain what we mean by “Veggies and Greens Salad Kit.” “Veggies” is short for vegetables, and “Greens” is a common way to refer to different forms of lettuce, which are technically leaf vegetables. So, this could have been called “Veggies and Veggies Salad Kit,” but then we would lose the familiar comfort of using a colloquialism like “greens.” We decided to go with “Veggies and Greens Salad.” Trader Joe’s Veggies and Greens Salad Kit is a combination of chopped broccoli, shaved cauliflower, shaved Brussels sprouts, radicchio, green cabbage, and kale. Since this is a complete salad kit, these vegetables are ac- companied by pistachios, dried pear crumbles, and a honey ginger dressing to create a salad that’s expectedly healthy and delightfully delicious without being too self-righteous. Terrific on its own, or as a side dish, this Salad has Asian-influenced flavors that go well with all sorts of main entrées, like Garlic Peppercorn Pork Tenderloin, broiled chicken, or salmon. It’s also a unique way to serve cruciferous veggies throughout their peak season."
