Trader Joe’s Super Tasty Salad
All ingredients are shown in Picture 2 (plus the honey in Picture 3, which is also from Trader Joe’s).
1️⃣ Green Figs
I just love the green variety! The skin is tender and doesn’t need to be peeled. They’re sweet and delicate—best enjoyed when fully ripened! Plus, they’re a dollar cheaper than the purple ones.
2️⃣ Arugula
In my opinion, arugula pairs perfectly with burrata in salads! On its own, arugula’s flavor might feel a bit strong, but with cheese, it’s simply delightful. And when paired with figs, it balances the sweetness so the figs aren’t too cloying.
3️⃣ Burrata Filling
You can also use Trader Joe’s classic burrata cheese balls, but this filling is just amazing—you can scoop out as much as you want! No-brainer purchase—it’s super rich and creamy with a slightly salty, milky flavor but no sweetness. Just divine!
4️⃣ Prosciutto
Adding a bit of saltiness to the sweetness creates a never-ending sweet-savory loop! Trader Joe’s version is super affordable and a repeat buy for me.
5️⃣ Golden Berries
These are quite tangy and burst with juice when you bite into them. Mainly for garnish—you can skip them if you like.
6️⃣ Honey 🍯
Honey is the soul of this dish!!! It’s optional since the fruits are already sweet, but the floral aroma of honey takes the salad to the next level. Absolutely a must for me!
