This was a HEALTHY PURCHASE during our Indy Fringe
craziness. We grabbed on one of our
trips to the lovely Indy Trader Joe’s, then ended up tossing it in a bag one
afternoon as we ran out to see shows. We
ate it while sitting outside between shows – actually, I ate it then… David was handing out postcards of his show
(an act which we call “carding”) to people in line for other shows, trying to
convince them that HIS was the show they should not miss. Not to worry, I saved him some salad to eat
after his carding!

On first bite I was afraid that the dressing was too
sweet, but it wasn’t. The couscous also
looked, how shall I say, too plentiful, but I was wrong on that count,
too! The couscous (of the Israeli variety)
was lovely! It was plump and cold and a
very nice contrast to the other ingredients.
The lettuce was nice and crunchy and it was good to eat on a hot summer
day. The toasted pecans were also a nice
addition.

David said, “It is lovely. The crisp, crunchy lettuce is offset by the smooth
but meaty body of the chicken and couscous.
And it is all united by the smooth but flavorful salad dressing, which
is sweet but not too sweet.”
 |
| This is a very fair price for a crisp, fresh, healthy salad that you don't have to make yourself |
We both recommend this as one of the grab and go lunch
choices at Trader Joe’s.
