Hail, Caesar Salad! Since its invention in the 1920s, the Caesar has reigned supreme as a scion of salad- dom — although, full disclosure, it actually gets its name from its reported inventor, chef Caesar Cardini; any similarities to Roman emperors are purely coincidental. And for close to three decades, Trader Joe’s Caesar Salad with Chicken has remained a staple of our salad selection. Inspired by the classic recipe, it’s made with crisp Romaine lettuce, fresh shreds of Parmesan, crunchy croutons, and tender chunks of chicken breast, with a packet of zesty, creamy, and triumphantly garlicky Caesar dressing included.

Once mixed together, this Salad exhibits everything you love about the iconic Caesar profile — the crunch, the rich flavors, the savory notes of garlic and anchovy — all in one conveniently portable package. Perhaps it’s the princely air that comes with enjoying such a sumptuous salad in a mundane setting, but even after all these years, it remains one of our favorite lunch salads to bring to work. Keep an eye out for nine ounce packages of Trader Joe’s Caesar Salad with Chicken in our refrigerators the next time you’re looking to conquer your hunger.
