This salad, by Marketside (a WalMart brand), and very likely sourced from Taylor Farms has a fresh, and only slightly sweet flavour, despite the sweetened ingredients.

This one has: Spring mix (leaf lettuce and arugula), feta cheese, herb seasoned flatbread strips, sweetened, dried cranberries, candied walnuts, and raspberry vinaigrette dressing.

Although arugula isn’t among my fave greens, the sweet bits in this salad nicely mask it.

Each winter, we eat far more salads than in the summer.

Why? It’s because prepared salads are abundant here in south Texas.

Taylor Farms makes a variety of single serving and double serving salads.

The part we enjoy the most, is that we can enjoy a variety of salads without having to buy all of the ingredients separately and then risk them going to waste if not used in a timely manner.

For the next few “foodie Friday” posts, I’ll feature and review different pre-made salads that we enjoy.

My feature photo is of the single serving Everything Chopped Salad from Taylor Farms.

Ingredients: Romaine lettuce, grilled white meat chicken, carrot, red cabbage, sharp white cheddar cheese, cheese and garlic seasoned crouton crumbles, everything bagel seasoning, and ranch dressing. *No synthetic colours or high fructose corn syrup*

These salads, available at WalMart, come in a disposable plastic bowl, but I prefer to plate them.

My review: I love that all of the ingredients are separated in the packaging, so nothing is soggy. This one had great flavour and crunch. Although they contain some cooked chicken, don’t expect more than a tablespoon or so of small cubes of meat in the single serving size. The cheese adds extra protein.

At under $3 USD, it’s good bang for your buck.
