Tj’s fan account @trader_joes_treasure_hunt recently shared the Caesar Salad Dip with their followers, and they immediately swarmed to the comment section to sound off about its sheer greatness.

“Yessss please!!!” someone commented. “Cannot wait!👏”

"I just bought and tried👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 ," one commenter wrote. "10/10 perfect dip for veggies or even in a wrap! tzatziki consistency with the PERFECT caesar flavor.😩"

“Sheeeeesh,” another exclaimed. “It’s like they made this for me.”

“This with a fry and Diet Coke??” one more person said. “THE girl dinner. 👏🏻”

This “satisfyingly savory, captivatingly creamy, and remarkably rich” Trader Joe’s dip is the perfect pairing for chicken nuggets, lunch wraps, grinder sandwiches, crackers, and everything in between. Trader Joe's even noted that it's a "game-changer" for game days and cocktail parties. Time to dip in!

Aside from your personal girl dinner needs, the Caesar Salad Dip is the ideal creamy snack to share during the holiday season – include it in your next charcuterie spread!

The Trader Joe’s Caesar Salad Dip goes for just $3.69 at your local TJ's grocery store. You can find it amongst my other dippable faves like their Truffle Dip and Buffalo Chicken Dip! If you're a Caesar fanatic, you've absolutely got to give it a try before it sells out.

If you’ve never had a persimmon, get yourself to the farmers’ market and buy some this weekend. Kind of like an apple, they’re sweet and crisp and pair perfectly with creamy burrata (but let’s be real… what doesn’t pair perfectly with burrata?).

Warm Quinoa, Kale and Squash Salad With Orange Balsamic Vinaigrette

This salad features delicata squash, which is about to become your new favorite veggie. And you don’t need to peel it, which makes this salad a super convenient dinner tonight.

If kale salad isn’t your jam, this recipe will change your mind. You can sub out the herbs for whatever you may have left over in your fridge to make this totally customizable.

This salad will make up for every disappointing salad you have ever ordered or eaten. Pears are roasted with bourbon and brown sugar and then tossed with leafy greens, blue cheese and sweet, crunchy candied walnuts for a perfect holiday salad.

Candied Hazelnut, Kale, Apple and Bacon Salad

This salad is next-level with its mix of textures and flavors. On Sunday, mix the kale and apple with the dressing and you’ll have lunch ready for the entire week.

This salad makes a beautiful accompaniment to heavier dishes. The pomegranate dressing is fresh and tangy and pairs perfectly with creamy gorgonzola and sweet acorn squash.

You only need six ingredients for this winter salad. It's easy enough to double or triple for a get-together and healthy enough to get all your veggies for the day.

Who said salads have to be greens-based? Take advantage of the bounty of winter squash at the market this time of year and make this drool-worthy salad for dinner this week.

This salad packs a nutritional punch that can't be beat. It's delicious too!

Roasted Mushroom and Romaine Salad

Super-simple ingredients make this comfort salad a go-to for busy weeknights. The mushrooms are tossed with olive oil, rosemary and garlic and then roasted for an earthy bite. Get your vitamin B fix and a powerful antioxidant called selenium, which helps to support the immune system. (via Cookin' Canuck)

You *need* to make this potato salad right now. You’ll give the summer barbecue favorite an even yummier upgrade with sweet potatoes, feta cheese and pomegranates.

The best part about kale salads is they get better the longer they sit in dressing. If you’re hosting a dinner party, this salad is the great starter for that very reason.

Brussels sprouts may have gotten a bad rap in the past, but they are the *it* veggie this winter. The goat cheese is rolled in bread crumbs and baked to make this salad feel extra special while still being ultra healthy.

Winter reminds us of the hunting and gathering period that often occurs right before this time so our minds immediately thought of this superfoods salad. It has sunflower seeds, walnuts, edamame, kale, blueberries, grapes, olive oil and more in it, making it the perfect replenishing meal.

Satisfy your taste bud's desire for something that fulls robust and earthy this fall. This is one of those yummy winter salad recipes that's going to give you a bit of caramelized and spicy flavor so you'll almost feel like you're not eating something that's on the healthier side.
