We are trying to eat healthier on a more regular basis. This was part of my pandemic goal for myself, and I’m probably a little more devoted to it than Tom has been. But he’s on board now, so last week, I created a salad that closely mimics my favorite chef’s salad from my favorite Houston eatery, Barnaby’s.
Ingredients common to Barnaby’s and my creation are: lettuce, carrots, cucumbers, green onions, chopped boiled egg, leftover slices from a ham I’d baked, fresh chicken nuggets I cooked, bacon I fried and crumbled, and grated cheese. One of Barnaby’s toppings I didn’t include is croutons (we each had a dinner roll), but our toppings were chopped walnuts, pecans, and sunflower seeds. Had some fresh fruit on the side.
Nothing beats Barnaby’s salad dressing, but I had a small container left from a recent to-go order, so I was set. Tasty!
Tomorrow, a different favorite salad.
