For those who like salads that a big on flavor, Trader Joe's new Peanut and Crispy Noodle Salad Kit is the perfect option.
Trader Joe's new Peanut and Crispy Noodle Salad Kit is the latest addition to the chain's lineup of popular DIY bagged salad. The newest version is inspired by Thai cuisine, and combines an enticing mix of sweet, sour, spicy, salty, and umami flavors. To give the salad the distinct burst of Thai flavor, the mix starts with romaine lettuce, cabbage, shredded carrots, celery, green onion, and cilantro. In addition to the greens, the bagged salad kit also includes crispy rice vermicelli noodles and chopped peanuts. The whole thing comes together with the help of a Thai-inspired peanut and lime dressing. As Trader Joe's puts it, "Mixed together, the completed Salad evokes the harmonious blend of flavors of a steaming plate of pad thai, while still maintaining the invigorating crunch of a fresh, crisp salad."
