Yes, I am a judgmental person when it comes to food. I believe the house salad sets the tone and taste for the expected meal. First of all, I do not like blasé iceberg lettuce. And adding shredded carrots, cucumbers and sliced tomatoes does not make the salad interesting either. And croutons? Please! They are only admissible when made fresh for a crock french onion soup. However, there is one restaurant I enjoy dining at that makes a fantastic house salad!
Fav' House Salad
Ingredients:
spring mix (no romaine, no iceberg), kalamata olives, hearts of palm, artichoke hearts, cherry tomatoes, fresh mozzarella
Directions:
Assemble ingredients on a chilled salad plate and serve with dressing.
Of course you can get any dressing you desire, however their house dressing is a perfect complement to the salad. Their tangy vinaigrette is simple and cleansing to the palette. They serve their house salad with fresh brick-oven focaccia. Double the salad size to make it an entrée salad.
Do you have a restaurant favorite?

Yum! I’ll take home with bleu cheese instead of mozzarella…
Oh, I once got bleu cheese crumbles in addition…
OK, I am hungry now… looks so good.
I forgot the olives before I to the pic. I took two bites before I remembered… maybe I’ll get a better photo next time!
I’d forget the olives on purpose!
Haha, Hubster feels the same way!
