What do you need to make the perfect summer salad? Fresh, peppery greens? Aromatic herbs? Zesty, citrus flavors? Some resoundingly delicious crunch? How about a salad that ticks all those boxes? Trader Joe's Lemony Arugula Basil Salad Kit gives you all the tools necessary to create a superlatively summer-y salad, complete with leafy arugula, shredded Parmesan cheese, crunchy carrots and roasted almonds, and a stunningly citric, wholly herbaceous, basil lemon vinaigrette dressing. With mere seconds of preparation (simply toss the salad with the included packet of vinaigrette), this Kit produces a dinner-ready salad that goes exceptionally well with summer fare, including barbecue, pastas, or fresh-from-the-oven Pizza Margherita. Every bite is remarkably balanced, from the familiar pepperiness of the arugula to the sweetness and crunchy texture of the shaved carrots and almonds, to the aromatic, pesto-like quality of the zesty basil lemon vinaigrette. For a superior summer try pairing a plate of this Lemony Arugula Salad with a topping of freshly grilled chicken, salmon, or steak.
