The Classic Salad That's Trader Joe's Best Prepared Food
BY Javaria Akbar
In our ranking of 13 Trader Joe's best prepared foods, the Waldorf salad came in first. Crisp with romaine and sweet with chopped apples, it's well-balanced and perfectly crunchy.
TJ's Waldorf salad has all the traditional ingredients, like apples, walnuts, and grapes, but comes with two additions: grilled chicken and a sachet of brown sugar maple dressing.
The said dressing is a perfect pivot from the usual dressing made of mayo, lemon juice, and seasonings. Though incredibly flavored, it doesn't overwhelm the other ingredients.
Made primarily of apple cider vinegar, Dijon, brown sugar, and maple syrup, the sweet dressing also contains warming spices, such as cinnamon, ground ginger, and nutmeg.
