Fried Chicken Salad with lettuce topped with strips of fried chicken, tomatoes, cheese, green onion, and homemade croutons with Ranch dressing.
I was on a salad kick the last 3 days at the diner. And even though I got them all to-go each day, these were rare moments that I did NOT set the car up like a dining table for the drive home.
I figured it’d be a big mess if I dared try eating a salad while driving. Plus you can’t really smell a salad wafting through a car like you would, say, a hamburger. So the temptation wasn’t as great.

And every time I called my order in ahead of time, they would ask if I wanted the ‘lunch’ or ‘dinner’ portion. Why is this even a question??? HELLO, it’s ME! You knew who I was when I said my name.
Isn’t dinner bigger? DINNER, PLEASE!! Let’s wake up over there, people!!! In what world do I want the smaller size?

So, if you have nothing else to do today, try out different salad varieties at your favorite restaurant—and make sure it’s the dinner-sized portion.
Take-Away Life Lesson: Dinner sizes are bigger than lunch sizes—enough said. Now back to meat and potatoes.

This salad is one full meal in one! thanks for sharing and have a wonderful weekend!!!
It really was and you’re welcome!
While I like a beautiful Salad Nicoise as much as the next gal, I’m also a total glutten for Chicken Tender salads. I recently did one with a chipotle dressing, avocado, and buffalo that was fantastic! Looking forward to trying a few of your combos.
Great!
I realize that take out is GREAT! But I gotta say; I really do appreciate using someone elses air conditioning…it will be over 100 degrees again here today…I LIKED to be served and have some one else wash up and take out the garbage and Where or Where is my martini? However, when I do take out; I seldom get it home intact either. You should come to my bar that serves food for $1 Taco Night on Tuesdays and $5 Chili Verde night on Wednesdays or even just eggs, bacon and potatos on Sunday for $4. No reason to cook at those prices but occaissonial I do. LOVE YOUR BLOG! dru
ps “MY” bar doesn’t belong to me…it is just where everybody knows my name. dru
Kinda like “Cheers.”
