I tried it so you don’t have to.
Brutally honest, occasionally dramatic, and always snack-obsessed—this is where I spill the tea on what’s worth your cart space and what’s better left on the shelf. No fluff, no filters, just real-deal reviews with a side of sass.
Harvest Apple Salad Kit
Please correct me if I’m wrong, but something about this salad changed from last year. The cinnamon flavor was much heavier this time around. There was a massive quantity of lettuce which I appreciated, but I was still not satisfied after eating the entire (yes the entire) bag. I enjoyed the incorporation of the cheese and pecans, and would have loved more! If the apple pieces were less cinnamon heavy, I would have enjoyed the salad more.
Overall, I wouldn’t get this again based on this years review. I really enjoyed it last year, so I’m quite surprised! What’s your favorite salad kit?!
Turkey Harvest Salad
Well, I am a tad bitter that I burned a hole in my wallet for this salad. I was really excited to indulge in this seasonal product yet was left unsatisfied. Let me start with the few things I enjoyed. The turkey was moist and the butternut squash was cooked to perfection (aka it wasn't mushy or rock hard). The dressing wasn’t too sweet but had a tang to it that tied everything together. The biggest issue I had with this salad was the kale. I love kale, but for some reason 90% of the greens were actually kale stalks. Because of that, I could barely chew it and it felt like shards of glass going down my throat. In addition, I wish there was more of the toppings. The 3 pieces of Brussel sprouts did not do it for me. I wanted more!
Overall, I wouldn’t get this salad again. It’s a bummer because I enjoyed the concept of this salad but there is no way I would put my throat through that again. Have you tried this?!
Roasted Butternut Squash, Red Quinoa and Wheatberry Salad
Apparently this isn’t even a seasonal salad, but I was getting fall vibes so I decided to give it a try! I loved it! You’d think the combo of ingredients wouldn’t mesh well together… yet it worked. I felt like Remy in Ratatouille when he tries cheese paired with strawberries for the first time and fireworks were going off in his mouth. The squash was seasoned to perfection with oregano which paired lovey with the cranberry, peppers and goat cheese. The dressing was sweet but not overwhelmingly sweet. I took off two points because there wasn’t enough squash and cheese. There were only a few pieces of the squash and I deserved more than that! Luckily there was a plethora of the other ingredients. Have you tried this salad?!
