If you're looking for a meat-free take on a taco salad, you're in luck because Trader Joe's just unveiled a new Vegan Taco Salad Kit.
Trader Joe’s Vegan Taco Salad Kit is essentially a deconstructed taco in salad form. The kit starts with a medley of chopped romaine lettuce, red and green cabbage, and shredded carrot. This healthy base can then be topped with taco-inspired toppers such as pico de gallo, crunchy tortilla strips, and a flavorful plant-based jalapeño ranch sauce. The kit also comes with a piece of chipotle-infused seitan, which can be crumbled on top and makes a tasty alternative to ground beef. As Trader Joe's explains, "Altogether, these elements easily combine to replicate the traditional taco trifecta in a decidedly delicious (and verifiably vegan) way."
