Fresh Express says: Chef-inspired Pacifica! Veggie Supreme makes it easy for you to have a restaurant style salad right at home! We start with crisp spring mix and a delicious veggie combination of carrot strips and tender pea pods. Then we add lightly roasted soy nuts and sunflower kernels for a tasty crunch. Our premium Cafe Fresh Poppyseed Vinaigrette Dressing adds the perfect amount of sweetness and balance of flavors.

Abi says: I’m addicted to this salad. It has a million problems, but I just can’t stop buying it. First, the carrots shreds are rare and rubbery. Second, the peapods are practically nonexistent. For the first few bags I thought that the single peapod included was a production-line mix-up, not an purposeful ingredient. So I didn’t eat them. Finally, the dressing’s first ingredient is High Fructose Corn Syrup. I kid you not. I feel wrong for liking this salad so much.

On the plus side: mini bags of sesame seeds and soy nuts make for a perfect non-crouton crunch and just about anything that adds more salad to my diet has to be good, right? Delusions are a strong, strong thing. I’ve been extending this salad by adding a diced apple, dried cranberries and diced chicken breast. Oh man, does this make the most fantastic lunch, full of crunchy, satisfying deliciousness. Plus, the bag really does contain 2.5 servings, so it is easy to estimate actual HFCS intake.

I know, I should just buy a bag of sesame seeds and a bag of roasted soy nuts and make my own darn salad already! But until I find a dressing that matches the one included in this salad, I’ll keep sinking money into Fresh Express.
