If you’re sick of throwing away another container of spinach at the end of the week because you didn’t know what to do with it, you’re not alone! We can have every intention to load up on more veggies on our weekly grocery run, only to toss out limp greens, peppers, and cucumbers before the next trip rolls around. That’s why we love prepackaged salad kits!
We raided the Trader Joe’s produce section to find the healthiest salad kits and help you and your family get in your daily dose of greens. These salads were deemed “healthy” based on sodium, sugar, and saturated fat content, plus their ratios of indulgent-to-healthy toppings.
