3-Ingredient Chimichurri Soup
Trader Joe’s Frozen Roasted Corn gives this quick meal a roasted smokiness which is sure to satisfy. We love a fancy culinary endeavor just as much as the next Joe, but when faced with all-too-brief lunch breaks and super-long days, we opt out of “fancy” in favor of “easy,” every single time. But an easy meal doesn’t have to equal a boring meal — this ready-in-ten, four-ingredient Trader Joe’s Demo Station classic is proof positive. Soup’s on…

The crisp, fresh nature of Trader Joe's Buffalo Ranch Chopped Salad makes it ideal for that hot summer day when you don’t want to cook, but still want interesting flavors to pique your palate. And, it’s enough for a couple people—or more if you’re enjoying it as a side. Top it with crispy chicken breast or grilled tofu for a satisfying lunch or quick dinner.

Pesto Chicken Caprese Salad
Trader Joe's Pesto Genovese Chicken Breast aims to simplify squeezing in a restaurant-quality dinner for a fraction of the price. Pair this pleasantly pre-marinated pesto poultry with a refreshing green salad topped with tangy tomatoes and fresh mozzarella. Or go for the classic Italian al fresco vibe and couple it with your favorite pasta & breadsticks (and lots of vino). It's summer grilling with a slightly fancy vibe, because you can only eat so many hamburgers and hot dogs...
