Trader Joe's knows that pre-washed, bagged greens are a dinnertime savior, which is why the chain has just added the new Organic Romaine & Chicory Blend.
Perfect for nights when you need a salad on the table stat, the new Organic Romaine & Chicory Blend is pre-washed and ready to use. Each bag contains a blend of crisp organic romaine leaves with two members of the chicory family: green organic frisée (also known as curly endive) and organic radicchio. The slightly bitter and peppery chicory leaves pair perfectly with the cool and crisp taste of the romaine.
While great for salads, Trader Joe's new Organic Romaine & Chicory Blend can also be enjoyed with savory foods like poached eggs, chicken thighs, or even a flatbread pizza.
