https://community.qvc.com/t5/Kitchen/Trader-Joe-s-Demo/m-p/249165#M7100 <P>Trader Joe's demo yesterday was for a delicious salad. I bought the ingredients and we had a delicious lunch using this recipe. </P> <P>The base is a package of their <SPAN style="text-decoration: underline;">"Healthy 8 Chopped Veggie Mix</SPAN>", which consists of cut small bite-sized pieces of broccoli, carrots, green cabbage, red cabbage, jicama, green bell pepper, radish, and celery.</P> <P>They added <SPAN style="text-decoration: underline;">TJ's English Cheddar with Caramelized Onions</SPAN> also cut in small bite-sized cubes.</P> <P>And then <SPAN style="text-decoration: underline;">TJ's 50% Less Salt Roasted and Salted Whole Cashews</SPAN>.</P> <P>The ingredients were combined and dressed with <SPAN style="text-decoration: underline;">TJ's Reduced Fat Cilantro Salad Dressing</SPAN>.</P> <P>The veggie mix is said to be 5 servings, but I treated it as 4 servings. I added approximately 1/4 c of the cheese, cubed, and 1/4 c of the cashews, Then I lightly dressed it with the cilantro dressing. (I served it with some cottage cheese - for the protein - and a slice of plain toasted sourdough bread -- really a nice combination, imo.</P> <P>The flavors are amazing, quite different, and there's quite a variety of texture. I had been using and enjoying the cilantro dressing for quite awhile now, so was anxious to try it this way.</P> <P>For those of you who don't have access to Trader Joe's, I apologize. I doubt that this salad could be duplicated without their products!</P> <P> </P> <P> </P> Fri, 07 Sep 2012 21:09:11 GMT Beebee2 2012-09-07T21:09:11Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Kitchen/Trader-Joe-s-Demo/m-p/249165#M7100 <P>Trader Joe's demo yesterday was for a delicious salad.
