Trader Joe’s Cilantro Salad Dressing
The pros: Trader Joe’s Cilantro Salad Dressing is a lower in calories than many salad dressings without the label of being “diet.” Nice fresh cilantro taste with a good balance of flavor and a subtle heat.
The cons: Cilantro is a polarizing item. Either you love it or you hate it, some people will say it tastes like soap.

Trader Joe’s Butternut Squash Triangoli
The pros: If you love squash, you’ll love Trader Joe’s Butternut Squash Triangoli.
The cons: You must appreciate the flavor of butternut squash to appreciate it this. I preferred Lean Cuisine’s Butternut Squash ravioli over this. This filling needs a spice or more cheese to make it far more enjoyable.

Citrus Vanilla Salad
Salad can be so boring and predictable. When I think of salad my mind goes in one of two directions: fruit or the leafy green stuff. Many fruit salads that I’ve had are just ok.

Trader Joe’s Peppermint Pretzel Slims
The pros: If you’ve been waiting for peppermint the way some people wait for pumpkin, then you are in luck because it’s your time of year. Trader Joe’s Peppermint Pretzel Slims is a really fun snack that mixes up chocolate covered pretzels.
The cons: Salt and mint are strange together but somewhat addicting. It may not be a flavor profile for everyone. Think of this like peppermint bark without the dark chocolate and salty crisp pretzels in their place.

Trader Joe’s Vegetable Pad Thai
The pros: Trader Joe’s Vegetable Pad Thai is quick, easy, tasty pad thai that is ready in the microwave in about 4 minutes. Not overly spicy. For $2.69 you are getting a lot for your money compared to going out or attempting to make this at home. Trust me a lot goes into making a pad thai.
The cons: Surprisingly low in protein and relatively high calorie. Should come with an optional packet of sriracha or hot sauce. By being vegan this does not contain any seafood flavors so you might want to change some of your expectations.

Review of Trader Joe’s Macarons
There are times company comes by expectedly or without any warning. Whatever the case is, there are handy items to keep in the freezer if you are just having a cup of tea and want something sweet. Be warned, if you are not familiar with macarons, they are light and somewhat sweet, they are not made with regular flour like most cookies, they are made with almond flour. So if you have a nut allergy, steer clear….
