So, is it a salad or an entrée?
Great question. Think of it as a hearty, filling, entrée-sized salad. With 410 calories and 21g of protein per serving, our Cucumber Chaat Salad is a complete meal. However, it's versatile enough to be shared as a side dish, or as a base that you can add additional protein to. However you decide to use it, you can't go wrong!
X Tear pouch open and REMOVE oxygen absorber.
X Add a little less than 2/3 of a cup (150ML) of COOL (yup, not boiling) water to pouch.
X Mix well then REMOVE excess air from pouch. Reseal TIGHTLY.
X LAY POUCH FLAT on one side and wait an additional 5 minutes. PONDER... Does a spork question the duality of its existence?
X OPEN. STIR AGAIN. EAT. SMILE.
X REHYDRATION time may VARY depending on water temp. It should have a slight CRUNCH!

I love having a fresh crisp cold meal on the hot trail! I love this for lunch or an appetizer. My only recommendation is I would like a little more fat. To make it a little richer.
I've done a couple three-week trips overseas where there has been very little "safe" food available, so I've brought Good To Go meals with me. In general I LOVE the Good To GO meals. I've had this meal twice now, and both times without fail, I have a single bout of diarrhea afterwards. It is also extremely salty. It could just be how my body reacts to it, but I generally tolerate ingredients in foods. Consume at your own risk. I do not have this issue with any of the other Good to Go meals though, and I've had them all.
I love the ingredient list and what the company stands for… sonsorry to say, this was actually bad. The cucumber rehydrate into a very weird texture and the flavors are not a traditional chat, it was like someone was too heavy handed on the black pepper, which overpowered the other spices and flavors. I was really hoping to like this, but kept low expectations. The flavor an textures were even less desirable than imagined.
A great healthy meal option that prepares quickly without a stove! Veggies are plentiful and crisp upon quick rehydration process. A touch of spice with this one makes it perfect for a rainy day pick-me-up meal.
Fast and spicy! Very convenient.
