Mini & Mighty: How to Use Chopped Mini Salads to Make Life Easier

They’re mini, they’re single-serve, they’re kinda cute, and they’re here to the rescue. Just like a busy bee or a Kristin Chenoweth, Taylor Farms Chopped Minis are small but have a huge range. Here are some ways to make Chopped Minis work for you:

Family Gatherings: Choose-your-own-salad

At your next family holiday or celebration, set out a selection of Chopped Minis. Each person can choose their own and combine their salad conveniently within the bag. It keeps you from having to make several different salads only to throw out what’s left before it wilts. Win-win!

Picnic Salads without all the serving utensils!

The sun is shining, the weather’s great, and you’re packing up for a picnic. Grab a few Chopped Minis for your cooler so that everyone can choose a cool, healthy picnic portable of their own. You won’t be packing a large serving bowl or bowls to eat out of, just our on-the-go packages. Plus, there’s no chopping or prep work, so you can get out to that shady spot that much quicker. (Don’t forget the forks!)

Addressing allergies in a group

Any time you gather a group of several people, you’re probably facing some dietary restrictions. It’s easy to show your consideration for the group when you can provide a selection of individual salads.

Here’s a quick look at which options work for different dietary needs:

Nut-free: Caesar, Green Goddess, Nashville Hot, Pizza Ranch
Gluten-free: Citrus Crunch
Dairy-free: Citrus Crunch
Vegan: Citrus Crunch
Vegetarian: Green Goddess, Nashville Hot, Pizza Ranch

After-school Snack

Despite the stereotype, kids do like fresh veggies! (Especially when they’re served often and they’re combined with tasty toppings.) For that harrowing time between school and activities, offer your athlete or scholar a Pizza Ranch Mini Chopped Salad or a Caesar Mini. They’ll still have room for dinner, they’ll get a fat dose of fresh vegetables, and you’ll be parent-of-the-day.

Easy-to-Grab Lunches

This one’s all about you. If you want a refreshing bowl of salad for lunch, but don’t want to chop and wash, this is your moment. Single-serve, ready-to-eat, and the flavors you want? Keep a stash in the fridge and enjoy a healthy meal just for you. Try the Citrus Crunch or Green Goddess the next time you’re craving something with tons of flavor but not tons of grease or carbs.

Quick Work Lunches for Teachers, Retail workers, Construction, and more

These salad kits make perfect lunches on the go, and some of our biggest fans are those who have a quick lunch break and want something healthier than their standard fare. Because everything’s included, you just combine the enclosed ingredients, drizzle on the dressing, and dig in during your well-deserved time off.

Travel (and Eat) Light

Whether you’re jumping in the car for a long road trip or you’re going to be in airports all day, we suggest tossing a Mini Chopped Salad in your to-go bag. Road trip food is notoriously unhealthy and airport food is notoriously expensive, so go for the option that isn’t notorious in the least. Toss in a fork and napkin, and you’ll instantly be qualified as a well-seasoned traveler.
