Trader Joe’s Rainbow Salad

There’s something about a colorful salad that instantly makes the table feel more inviting. This Trader Joe’s Rainbow Salad is bright, fresh and incredibly easy to put together. With rainbow carrots, mini heirloom tomatoes, sugar snap peas and purple onion, every bowl is naturally filled with gorgeous color.

It’s also the kind of recipe we love most—you don’t have to follow it exactly. Use the vegetables you have, add your favorites and make it your own.

A Colorful Salad 

Rainbow carrots are what make this salad especially fun. Each carrot is a little different, and you never quite know what beautiful color you’ll find when you slice into it.

Combined with colorful heirloom tomatoes, crisp sugar snap peas and purple onion, this salad looks beautiful served on a Shabbos, or Yom Tov table.

And because the salad is marinated before serving, it’s a great make-ahead option when you’re preparing a larger meal.

Make This Rainbow Salad Your Own

One of the best things about this recipe is how flexible it is. The original combines mini heirloom tomatoes, sugar snap peas, rainbow carrots and purple onion, but there are so many other vegetables that work beautifully.

Try adding baby corn, broccoli, cauliflower or sliced zucchini—or simply look through your vegetable drawer and use what you already have. It’s an easy way to turn a mix of vegetables into something colorful and special.

Easy Rainbow Salad Dressing

There’s no complicated dressing to prepare. Oil, sugar, vinegar and salt create a simple marinade that lets all those fresh vegetables shine.

For the best flavor, combine everything and marinate the salad for 2–3 hours before serving.

Simple, colorful and delicious—exactly the kind of recipe that makes it easy to add a little extra oomph to your table.
