Little Salad Bar Caesar Salad Kit

EDITOR’S NOTE: We first reviewed this in 2021. We updated this review in the fall of 2025. 

Aldi sells several great salad kits, including some Asian-style and southwest-style chopped salads, and we like their individual ready-to-eat Caesar salad bowls, but one of my family’s favorites is the bagged Caesar salad kit.

We eat this Caesar salad kit at least once a week. The dressing is what makes it so good, and we wish Aldi would bottle up the dressing in this bagged salad kit and sell it on its own because it’s much better than any of the current bottled Caesar options at Aldi.

Little Salad Bar Caesar Salad Kits cost $2.99 for a 10-ounce bag in 2025. That’s up from $2.29 for a 10.5-ounce bag with a 2.5-ounce dressing pouch when we first reviewed this in 2021.

This is a Regular Buy, which means it’s sold at Aldi year round. You’ll find it stocked in the refrigerated produce case near the other salads and lettuces.

This kit contains Romaine lettuce, Caesar dressing, croutons, and Parmesan cheese.

When we first reviewed this in 2021, it contained iceberg lettuce rather than the traditional Romaine lettuce typically used in Caesar salad. That was probably due to some Romaine lettuce recalls that happened around that time. There was even some fine print on the front of the bag that specifically stated the kit did not contain Romaine lettuce. But as of 2025, this kit is back to using Romaine.

The kit is a product of the U.S. The bag I purchased states the Romaine is from Salinas.

The lettuce is in the main bag, and buried within the lettuce is a smaller bag that contains three more plastic bags containing dressing, cheese, and croutons. The salad is already washed and ready to eat.

It’s fine to assemble this entire kit and eat it as it is. I also have seen people who use the lettuce as toppings for a sandwich or whatever they may need lettuce for, and they save the dressing and toppings to use later in another salad.

As with any bagged salad, you’ll want to be mindful of the use-by date printed on the bag. Longevity can vary from a few days to a week out. In my experience, it’s usually best to serve this within no more than two or three days of purchasing it.

The package states this salad is packed in a breathable bag for “maximum flavor.”

One bag contains about three 1-cup servings. One serving has 210 calories, 18 grams of total fat (23% DV), 4 grams of saturated fat (20% DV), 310 mg of sodium (13% DV), 8 grams of total carbohydrates (3% DV), 2 grams of dietary fiber (7% DV), 1 gram of total sugars, no added sugars, and 4 grams of protein.

If you’re avoiding allergens, this kit contains egg, fish (anchovy), milk, and wheat.

Again, my family loves this salad kit. It never lasts long in my house, as my family of four easily eats nearly two full bags when I serve it as a side for one meal. I routinely pick up a couple of bags during my weekly shopping trips. The dressing is creamy with just the right amount of saltiness. It contains a generous amount of shredded Parmesan cheese, and the croutons add the perfect crunch to it all.

The Verdict:

The Little Salad Bar Caesar Salad Kit is my family’s favorite bagged salad kit at Aldi. The dressing in this kit tastes far superior to any of the bottled Caesar options Aldi sells. We can’t recommend this salad kit enough.
