Power Salad

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


A few weeks ago on a uncomfortably hot Saturday afternoon we grabbed lunch at Milltown and, in an unusual turn of events, I ordered a salad. If you follow me on Instagram you might have seen the photo – it was a big plate of greens with some cabbage, orange segments, cashews, red pepper, cheese, and grilled chicken that was all tossed in a citrus dressing. It was a random mix of ingredients, but all together it was light, refreshing, and the perfect bite on a hot summer’s day.

This salad was the reason I made the sweet and smokey cashews that I shared a few days ago – they bring a savory crunch that goes really well with the citrus flavors in the rest of the salad.

Because this seems like just a random mix of stuff all tossed together on a plate it’s hard to know what to call it. All of it is good-for-you-stuff so Power Salad made sense. If you make a batch of cashews and grill some chicken ahead of time it’s easy enough to pull it all together for a quick lunch during the week.
