As summer temperatures start to set in, the importance of chilled food cannot be overstated. Luckily, our Kitchen has you covered with a variety of delicious chef-prepared dishes, no cooking (or reheating) required! From potato and noodle salads to avocado-based everything, these tasty creations are great for grab-and-go lunches or cool and convenient dinners when it’s just too hot to cook.

Avocado Stuffers: Instead of putting avocado ON everything, we flipped the script and put everything IN avocados! Our chefs take perfectly ripe avocados and stuff them with a variety of hearty fillings like Albacore Tuna, Chicken Salad, Cranberry Walnut Chicken Salad, Egg Salad, Seafood Salad, Sonoma Chicken Salad, Tarragon Chicken Salad and Chipotle Chicken Salad. Flavors will vary, so visit your local store to see what’s in the case!

Potato Salad with Creamy Harissa: New to our Kitchen, this zesty scratch‑made taste sensation features roasted red potatoes, fire-roasted corn, Spanish pimientos, caramelized onions, cilantro and our own homemade Creamy Harissa Dressing (a delicious new addition to our dressing line-up, available by the bottle on our Deli Wall)! Grab a small potato salad for lunch or a large one to share with the family.

Asian Tofu Noodle Salad: Noodle salads are always a good choice for summertime meals. For this new creation, our chefs place expertly fried tofu and perfectly cooked whole wheat spaghetti on shredded cabbage and radicchio, then top it with shredded carrots, cilantro, green onions and our own Thai Sesame Dressing—also available by the bottle so you can try it on your own homemade salads!

Our Kitchen’s selection of chef-prepared goodies will vary by store and season, so be sure to drop by your local Nugget Markets to see what they’re serving up today!
