Buffalo Ranch Bagged Salads

Trader Joe’s Buffalo Ranch Chopped Salad Tastes Like Chicken Wings

Trader Joe's wants to make salad a little more exciting with its new Buffalo Ranch Chopped Salad. Designed to taste just like the classic wings appetizer, this salad is anything but bland.

Trader Joe’s new Buffalo Ranch Chopped Salad starts with a base of chopped green cabbage, romaine lettuce, and kale. For added crunch, Trader Joe's adds cauliflower stalks, celery, and shredded carrots. But instead of the blue cheese dressing you'd normally enjoy with buffalo wings, this bagged salad kit includes savory crumbles of blue cheese that can be sprinkled on top and a creamy Buffalo Ranch dressing. As Trader Joe's puts it: "The crisp, fresh nature of this Salad makes it ideal for that hot summer day when you don’t want to cook, but still want interesting flavors to pique your palate."
