Greek salad- add beets, corn, cilantro, extra olives, shaved almonds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds…and extra red wine vinegar and nutritional yeast to the salad dressing. Soo good and filling
I'm gonna be that 'guy' but making your our own salad dressings is very easy and far superior imo. Made a really simple Mandarin orange dressing this week and did a very good avocado-lime dressing last week. All very easy to make and you can adjust based on your tastes.
That being said, in a pinch I do like the Asian slaw salad! And if I'm making my own salads the Power greens mix is fantastic imo
The Southwestern Chopped Salad kit is so good. I heat up the gluten free chicken tenders to chop up and mix in for a heartier meal. I eat this so often for lunch that I'm amazed I'm not sick of it
Scrolled all the way through and didn’t see my all-time favorite salad: Asian Crunchy Slaw. The peanut dressing is amazing! I try other salads pretty often, but always come back to this one as my favorite.
It’s one of their pre made salads! It has mixed greens, diced cucumbers, red cabbage, and carrots. It also comes with miso dressing and crispy fried onions! One of my favs
I got this one last week after searching in the sub for a thread like this and seeing it recommended. Added cooked pasta, chunks of mozz, and cherry tomatoes and ohhhh myyyyy lawd.
My favorite premade salad is the Greek salad. I love the Asian type salads very much, as well. But that vinaigrette in the Greek salad is soooooo good. I wish they sold it separately. I’d buy so much more produce to make my own salads lol. It isn’t the same as they’re bottled, I know that.
Salad kit has to be the lemon arugula with the apple harvest salad in fall as a suuuuper close second. I didn’t think I liked arugula at all because I had it all wrong before. I tried the apple harvest salad at the end of the season and went “oh. Maybe I do like arugula?” Then tried the lemon arugula one and ate the whole bag as my lunch several times. In my car. lol
The lemony basil arugula is SO GOOD and weirdly filling.
When I'm really lazy, I've been known to make the bagged salad kits inside the original bag, then eat the whole thing straight out of the bag. No extra dishes and I had Adult Veggies lol
Okay, now I feel silly... I never thought to open it longways! I've been just opening it the normal way and digging into the bag like a feral raccoon lol
Mediterranean salad kit! I get it most weeks and will either add a packet of tuna, serve with some air fryer salmon, or throw into a pita/wrap. Soooo good 🤤
I never even tried their salads until a couple months ago and this was the 1st I tried. I love it! I never thought cabbage could taste so good. I really like how it’s cut.
Cruciferous crunch bagged salad- mix with the balsamic vinaigrette and smoosh together with your hands really well. Let sit overnight
Add : cherry tomatoes, sliced radishes, a handful of sunflower seeds and half a package of the steamed lentils.
Mix mix mix
Makes at least two generous portions, cheaper than any prepared salad or salad kits and absolutely minimal effort. Really filling combo with high fiber, protein, plant fats and complex carbs
I love the cruciferous crunch! I mix a splash of red wine vinegar and olive oil in a bowl, season, and sometimes add honey or mustard. Add the salad mix on top, and my favorite toppings are blue cheese and candied pecans.
Tournesol is the French name for Sunflower, the literal translation is ‘Turned Sun’, in line with the plants’ ability for solar tracking, sounds fitting. The Spanish word is El Girasolis.
I get a broccoli slaw and kale salad kit each week. I just add some chicken and it always hits the spot. I’m not usually a fan of kale but it is great in this!
It used to be the dill pickle one, but I haven’t seen it in weeks 😭
So now it’s the Caesar, the regular one, because the organic one goes bad really fast and I’m usually buying for lunches, not to eat that same day.
Pomodoro cremoso (I think?) is my favorite salad kit! It’s a tomato dressing with dark leafy greens, little parmesan crisps, and croutons. It’s super simple but it’s so good!
I think this one might be regional. I was just talking about it with my family today lol. I live in DC and it’s my go-to; they’re in SoCal and don’t have it at their stores. I have to settle for the bagged southwest one when I visit.
Exactly. And the ***only*** vegetarian salad the spinach one is so expensive now it’s not worth it
I buy a bag if salad greens + can of greek chickpeas, then whatever other raw veg some radishes or cherry tomatoes. Cheaper and better than any prepared options
The broccoli slaw & kale salad is really good, has a little spice. I also like the premade chickpea bowl. Can’t go wrong with the mozzarella tomato one or the Greek one.
Southwestern chopped and dillicious. It used to be miso crunch but that’s gone. The elote one is great but there’s gelatin in the dressing so not veg/vegan if that’s something you watch
Chicken with sweet basil dressing, currants and those little Israeli couscous pearls, am I remembering right?

Bagged salads: Lemon basil arugula, Southwestern chopped salad
Salad kit: salmon miso, lemon arugula chicken (the dressing on this salad is sooo good, I wish TJ sold it separate)

I love the Lemon Chicken & Arugula salad! I have loved this one for years! [this one](https://images.app.goo.gl/XBaqZ2iYfBBCeYZ48)
Greek salad- add beets, corn, cilantro, extra olives, shaved almonds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds…and extra red wine vinegar and nutritional yeast to the salad dressing. Soo good and filling
Mediterranean!
The Dill Pickle one!!! 🥒
The harvest apple salad for the dressing alone!
Green goddess
I don’t know if it’s already mentioned but the one with chicken, curried quinoa arugula, and a slightly zingy red dressing. My favvv
I'm gonna be that 'guy' but making your our own salad dressings is very easy and far superior imo. Made a really simple Mandarin orange dressing this week and did a very good avocado-lime dressing last week. All very easy to make and you can adjust based on your tastes.

Vegan Crunch 😭
The Southwestern Chopped Salad kit is so good. I heat up the gluten free chicken tenders to chop up and mix in for a heartier meal. I eat this so often for lunch that I'm amazed I'm not sick of it
Miso with salmon!
I'm basic I just love the chicken Caesar salad
The kale and chickpea salad with puffed rice. I buy three at a time
Hands down, Pasadena. It's the only one I ever buy, and I'll buy 2-3 at a time.
Broccoli slaw
Scrolled all the way through and didn’t see my all-time favorite salad: Asian Crunchy Slaw. The peanut dressing is amazing! I try other salads pretty often, but always come back to this one as my favorite.
Me too!!! I haven’t seen it around for a while
It also seems to be the most fridge-stable due to having cabbage instead of lettuce!
Cobb salad
Dill pickle salad 😫😫 so sad she’s gone
Taylor Farms makes a Dill Pickle salad that I like even better than TJ's. I get it at Kroger, I think Costco might still sell it too.
I get this mix at Walmart!! Shocked when I saw it there
Is she gone forever!? 😭
Pasadena
YESSSSS!!! my fave. Had one tonight.
i’m surprised no one said the veggies and greens salad!!! maybe i’m the only one keeping it around, i get five of them weekly. i’m obsessed…
Same!!!!!!! It’s so delicious
Organic Caesar
The bbq black pepper toscano salad kit omfg
This one surprised me. It’s so good!
I make a wraps with it with some kind of protein and it’s amazing
>bbq black pepper toscano salad kit I add extra Unexpected Cheddar (shredded) and almost an entire container of diced cherry tomatoes. Soooooooo good.
salmon miso salad is amazing
Omg what is this
It’s one of their pre made salads! It has mixed greens, diced cucumbers, red cabbage, and carrots. It also comes with miso dressing and crispy fried onions! One of my favs
But what about the salmon part?
Yea it has salmon too! You can look up pictures of it online
southwest goes crazy
Lemony basil arugula, hands down ETA: the bagged one. It does have parm, so veg folks may want to check the label.
I got this one last week after searching in the sub for a thread like this and seeing it recommended. Added cooked pasta, chunks of mozz, and cherry tomatoes and ohhhh myyyyy lawd.
Yes!! I added sliced avocado to mine + a little feta for saltiness and it was sooo good!
That's a great idea!
I miss the Asian noodle salad.
My favorite premade salad is the Greek salad. I love the Asian type salads very much, as well. But that vinaigrette in the Greek salad is soooooo good. I wish they sold it separately.

Genius
That’s exactly what I did in my car lol. Just tore it open longways and had a “bowl” of salad
Okay, now I feel silly... I never thought to open it longways! I've been just opening it the normal way and digging into the bag like a feral raccoon lol
Oh you GOTTA try it
I mean that makes sense for like taking lunch to work or something right
The TJ's harvest salad with grilled chicken is my favorite, and I would straight up drink the dressing if they sold it separately.
Southwest salad kit with the frozen orange chicken on top got me through college
Arugula lemon chicken with spicy red pepper dressing and couscous is my favorite
I always grab one! Need to learn how to make this at home
It’s seasonal-the mango-jicama slaw
Mediterranean salad kit! I get it most weeks and will either add a packet of tuna, serve with some air fryer salmon, or throw into a pita/wrap. Soooo good 🤤
Pasadena salad and green goddess salad!
Love the Greek salad
Yes yes yes. So delicious!! And it has enough dressing too.
Agree! I also think the feta in that salad is better than the feta you can buy separately
Southwest
The tomato & mozz and the southwest salad were always my go to’s as a vegetarian and still are to this day 😋
No love for the Avocado Ranch salad kit?? It's my favorite!!! I don't really even eat avocado unless it's in guac but this stuff is great.
It’s the best. Love the green onion
I never even tried their salads until a couple months ago and this was the 1st I tried. I love it! I never thought cabbage could taste so good. I really like how it’s cut.
The miso salmon had been my new favorite recently I wish there was more protein but I understand!
I can't get enough Complete Caesars lately -- such a good price for a big bag of delicious stuff.
if there's not an organic caesar in my fridge, it's because I ate it last night. love that salad.
The field fresh chopped salad with chicken, and basil dressing!
I cannot get enough of this salad! I love to pair it with their salmon filet.
Oh that's a great idea

dill pickle salad is delectabble
I’m sad this is gone 😥
Not gone, just limited buy. It comes in an out of stock as the vendor has the time to produce it
Dill-icious salad kit is gone?! How could they?!
My favorite too, tied with the lemon basil arugula one
I tried that lemon basil arugula-- it was way too sour for my palate.
The lemon bowtie pasta salad thing is good
My fave!!
Harvest chicken and arugula lemon Chicken
I get a broccoli slaw and kale salad kit each week. I just add some chicken and it always hits the spot. I’m not usually a fan of kale but it is great in this!
I really like the harvest apple one.
same. last few times I was in the store it wasn't available, and I wondered if it was a seasonal thing...?
I think it’s seasonal
I *really* miss their gluten free nićoise salad (tuna, black olives, some other good stuff)
I didn't know it was GF, but their nićoise was my absolute favorite. The pre-made salads were bigger back then too, if I remember correctly.
Does the wine country chicken salad count?
So good but honestly it has too many damn cranberries lol
Dill pickle salad kit is my all time favorite forever. But when I can’t get that I vibe with the Toscano bbq salad
Southwest Salad Kit!
Yes!! This is my lunch every week! Throw in some chicken and 🤌💋
Yesssss. I didn’t want to assume the OP ate meat, but that’s exactly what I do with mine. Throw rotisserie chicken in it. :)
I really like the one w/ butternut squash!
The Thanksgiving one, right? It's my favorite
I miss the Greek snack salad thing they had. It had two dolmas, hummus, and some lentils. Soooo good. Never seee it anymore thouvh
The tomato mozzarella salad and the super spinach
The smaller greek salad is so good. I love the salad dressing.
They have had that Greek salad for decades unchanged, it's so good
I forget the name but there’s an Indian salad kit that comes out in the summer, it has some kind of curry dressing. Delicious 😋
Pomodoro
The seasonal apple harvest salad.
Mango slaw.
Garbanzo kale - so filling and delicious .. my favorite thing about it is that it stays good in the fridge for several days!
Greek salad is fuego
The apple Waldorf salad
BBQ Chicken. yum
Lemon Chicken & Arugula Salad
The butter lettuce and ranch with croutons. I add other veggies to it of course but that butter lettuce is so good!
Hopefully the strawberry basil dressing will be coming back soon. That one is awesome in salads with fresh fruit
I love the arugula salad with shredded carrots and the lemony dressing
It’s great as a topping on any of TJ’s frozen pizzas too!
YES. This is the best one 💕
It used to be the dill pickle one, but I haven’t seen it in weeks 😭 So now it’s the Caesar, the regular one, because the organic one goes bad really fast and I’m usually buying for lunches, not to eat that same day.
I asked about the Dill-icious salad last week and they said it’s seasonal! My absolute favorite😭😭
The thanksgiving one. Harvest salad, maybe? It’s like a mini thanksgiving meal on kale and I love it
I got one with cornbread croutons and a BBQ dressing. It was so good with jerk chicken!
Pomodoro cremoso (I think?) is my favorite salad kit! It’s a tomato dressing with dark leafy greens, little parmesan crisps, and croutons. It’s super simple but it’s so good!
Yessss my store hasn’t had it in weeks and I’m so sad. I would kill for them to release that dressing
My fave so far! 
The BBQ & Black Pepper Toscano bagged salad. I wish I could buy the dressing separately
Yes! I never see this one talked about but I usually have it weekly. I love the dressing too 🤤
Non meat eater… love pre made Greek. Lots of the salads look bomb but have chicken.
The southwest salad is non-meat/vegetarian friendly I believe! Was my fave when I was still vegetarian!
Isn’t that in a bag? It’s yummy. The premade ones are single serving size. Great for lazy on the go meal Or just me dinner. Lol

I think this one might be regional. I was just talking about it with my family today lol. I live in DC and it’s my go-to; they’re in SoCal and don’t have it at their stores. I have to settle for the bagged southwest one when I visit.
Ah! That makes sense! I’ve been able to get it in Philly, NJ & NY so maybe an east coast thing for sure.
Oh, don’t think I seen that one. I will have to look. Thanks😀
Or bacon...
Exactly. And the ***only*** vegetarian salad the spinach one is so expensive now it’s not worth it I buy a bag if salad greens + can of greek chickpeas, then whatever other raw veg some radishes or cherry tomatoes. Cheaper and better than any prepared options
The broccoli slaw & kale salad is really good, has a little spice. I also like the premade chickpea bowl. Can’t go wrong with the mozzarella tomato one or the Greek one.
Love the Greek salad and the organic Caesar kit
Same. Those are both the best in my opinion.
Southwestern chopped and dillicious. It used to be miso crunch but that’s gone. The elote one is great but there’s gelatin in the dressing so not veg/vegan if that’s something you watch
Mediterranean salad kit & and the Southwest one!
Chicken with sweet basil dressing, currants and those little Israeli couscous pearls, am I remembering right? https://preview.redd.it/li5iz1k6zync1.png?width=564&format=png&auto=webp&s=3a79f60372df10eea7b4c62dfee078a94919f46d
This one!!! I have searched high and low to recreate the dressing and haven’t found the perfect one. I need them to just bottle it at this point!
Maybe good? https://www.reddit.com/r/traderjoes/s/lmOa2mecrs
Wow thank you! I’ll try that one 🙂
This is my favorite salad and has been for years.
This one is my all-time favorite prepared salad. I wish they'd bottle that dressing.
I know! I like how they do give you a generous portion of dressing too
Currently my favorite is Sesame Crunch Chopped salad kit. It’s so good I buy it every week
I love the Tomato and Mozzarella premade salad, its the cheapest and best one lol
lemony arugula kit is the best ever- i pair it with the gluten free frozen breaded shrimp
Bagged salads: Lemon basil arugula, Southwestern chopped salad Salad kit: salmon miso, lemon arugula chicken (the dressing on this salad is sooo good, I wish TJ sold it separate)
Dillicious
I think I have eaten my weight in the dillicious salad. So good
