Organic Caesar Salad Kit

You may be familiar with Caesar Salad's origin story; back in 1924, or so the story goes, chef Caesar Cardini was about to close his restaurant in Tijuana, Mexico for the night when a hungry customer asked for a salad. Nearly out of ingredients, Caesar whipped together what he had, and the now-classic Caesar Salad was born.

As we quickly approach the Caesar Salad's 100th anniversary (where has the time gone?), the question is raised: how does one properly render tribute to such a sovereign of salads? How does one hail such a monarch of mixed greens? We came, we saw, we stepped up our game with Trader Joe's Organic Caesar Salad Kit.

It's the classic crunchy, creamy, garlicky, and (most importantly) delicious Caesar Salad you know and love, except this time, it's all organic. In other words, each bag contains crisp, fresh-chopped leaves of organic Roamine lettuce, tasty shreds of organic parmesan cheese, splendidly seasoned organic croutons, and a rich, peppery salad dressing made entirely with organic ingredients. All you have to do is make like chef Caesar and mix them all together, and your conquest of dinner is complete.

Like a certain other Caesar we can think of, you may be surprised at just how protean this salad can be-no need to confine it to just a side. Simply add some grilled steak, chicken, or shrimp, and you have a full-fledged entrée. Or, if you're feeling a little more adventurous, using this Caesar Salad as a basis for a flavorful wrap or as the topping to a turkey or salmon burger can turn a plebian sandwich experience into a full-fledged triumph.
