Executive Chef Alan Skversky Introducing the new salad offerings in the actual entree serving size |
Chicken Banh Mi ($9.59) – Mixed greens, Soba noodles, all natural diced chicken, fresh cilantro, cucumber, red bell pepper, pickled carrots, red onion, and jalapeƱo peppers tossed in sesame ginger vinaigrette. The flavors of your favorite Vietnamese sandwich in a crisp salad. Paired with Kendall Jackson Chardonnay 2013 Vintners Reserve.
I have had my fair share of bahn mi sandwiches and this salad does have that bahn mi flavor. I was happily surprised! I wasn't too fond of the soba noodles but that is just my preference. I thought that the salad was great and didn't need the extra element. I'm no gourmet, so I may be way off on that one.

Lemony Couscous ($9.59) – Israeli Couscous, garbanzo beans, diced cucumbers, grape tomatoes, Kalamata olives, roasted red bell pepper, feta cheese, drizzled with creamy lemon dressing. Paired with La Crema Sonoma Coast 2013 Pinot Noir.
This was delicious! I am normally the type of person to pick out what I don't like out of my salads - not with this one! Everything really tasted perfect in combination. I loved it!

Chicken Kale Caesar ($8.59)– Chiffonade Tuscan kale and romaine lettuce, all natural diced chicken, grated Parmesan cheese, creamy Caesar dressing, topped with sourdough garlic crisps. Paired with Karl Strauss Tower 10 IPA.
I loved this salad too! I know some folks who aren't big fans of kale. This is the BEST kale salad that I have tasted. Even if you think that you don't like kale salad, THIS one will likely change your mind! The best testimony of this was from Leah's little girl who ate it all up and spoke up about how much she liked it! If the kids like it, I'm SOLD.

DeleteI will want them all. They look so fresh and tasty
ReplyDeleteI have to warn you - the serving sizes are very generous. My pictures above show a tasting plate of the individual salads. The entree bowls are enough for two people to share easily. Bring your appetite!
DeleteWow, those salads look amazing! I bet they taste great, too! I'd like to try the Chicken Kale Ceasar, because I've been wondering for the longest time how kale tastes like. :)
ReplyDeleteIt was yummy! Most people I know either love or hate kale, this was so good that a bloggers young daughter (who doesn't normally like salads) finished her plate and told everyone that it she really liked it! Kids are normally the pickiest! Kiddo was right, it was good!
DeleteThese salads all look so fresh, crisp, and delicious! I would definitely like to try the chicken kale ceasar.
ReplyDeleteBismah, they don't even make them until you order them so you are RIGHT! They are fresh as can be. I was impressed!

ReplyDeleteErinn, I LOVE sourdough! The lemony couscous is definitely a favorite!
DeleteSounds like a fun event! Looks like you had a great time. My husband loves salads a lot. Lemony Couscous looks so yummy and delicious.
ReplyDeleteLisa I don't go out much so it was a real treat! I'm going to try to get my hubby to fall in love with salads!
DeleteIt all looks good. I'll take one of each and that crab shaped bread too. ;-)
ReplyDeleteEliz - the Boudin's team brought up a great way to serve the crab shaped bread = hollow it out and put dip in the center to serve to guests! I love that! Next party idea!
DeleteThis sounds like an awesome event indeed. I love the crab bread and the dress the model is wearing in your post. Totally awesome indeed. I like my salad without dressing but my family loves to salads like these. Thank for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThe event was great! Rebecca - isn't that dress something?! I'd love to see it in person.
