It is with a heavy heart I write to you this morning, because...I just DID NOT like dinner last night!! :) I can't even exactly tell you WHY, but I was not crazy over this weeks salad choice:( Butttttt....YOU may like it, so here ya go....Grilled Chicken and Spinach Salad with Spicy Pineapple Dressing...
There might have been a few things to lead to its downfall, including:
- We decided to make this last minute, so we nixed the 'grilled chicken' portion and I just picked up a pre-made rotisserie deal from the grocery store on the way home...which I think I am officially NOT a fan of. Too bland and it has a weird texture.
- I swapped sliced apple for the jicama. The apple did NADA for the salad.
- I actually LIKED the pineapple/cilantro/garlic dressing...but we're not 'habanero' folks so I skipped that part. Maybe it was 'the secret'.
- I used leftover cold sauted peppers, rather than a fresh red pepper. They were NOT good on the salad. Not at all. I think it made the salad "water-y" tasting, which was what annoyed me the most:)
So maybe with a few swaps, this might have be scrumptious. Scott liked it, he just said it wasn't the best. But I was NOT a fan. Even some rouge rosemary croutons were NOT helping...
Oh well, can't win em all:) I had a sorta 'no fail' recipe on the menu for tonight, so hopefully I shall redeem myself this evening! :) Have a good afternoon:)
