Taylor Farms Minions Pop'n Caesar Mini Chopped Kit is Kid-Friendly

Taylor Farms Minions Pop'n Caesar Mini Chopped Kit has been developed by the brand in partnership with Illumination's Minions as a child-friendly salad product that will help to build momentum for the latest installment in the franchise.

The salad kit consists of chopped romaine lettuce for a classic caesar base, which is paired with buttery half-popped popcorn bites. These popcorn pieces in place of croutons come as a nod to the yellow Minions characters themselves, but also deliver texture and flavor that's more suited for picky eaters who might not otherwise have an interest in fresh veggie dishes.

Taylor Farms Minions Pop'n Caesar Mini Chopped Kit is a limited time offering that comes as part of the marketing push for the new Minion's & Monsters movie that hit theaters earlier this month.
