As typical as this may seem, given the fact that I'm a teenage girl, I love salad.
This is something I am proud to admit...Not because I come off as "dainty" or "healthy" or "lady-like" when I eat them, but because they are so versatile. Salads don't have to be limited to lettuce and cucumbers!! You can put almost ANYTHING in them.
Take for example, The Blue Barn Cafe on Chestnut street. They are known for their creative and colossal salads, which defy the standards of your average salad. The menu consists of 11 different salad options, plus a seasonal one, which include anything and everything from ahi tuna, soba noodles, pita chips, blanched asparagus, crumbled egg, niman bacon or even pomegranate---and much more.
They give you the option of ordering one of the salads on the menu or you can create your own. You can add things to your salad from each and every category (greens, crunch, sweet, salty, etc), even a "protein", which includes chicken, falafel, quinoa, steak, etc...
Two of my personal favorites from Blue Barn are the Fattoush salad and the Spicy Tuna salad. The Fattoush is a greek-style salad, and is composed of romaine, chicory chop, cherry tomatoes, red onions, cucumber, scallions, chickpeas, nicoise olives, herbs, crispy pita, feta cheese and a champagne-sumac vinaigrette. It's even better if you add avocado or grilled chicken; or both!
The Spicy Tuna salad (pictured above) includes mixed greens, chicory chop, spicy ahi tuna, avocado, mango, snow peas, cucumber, scallions, sesame seeds, soba noodles, and a miso-ginger vinaigrette.
Blue Barn is notorious for having salads so big that people are simply unable to finish them. I've seen some pretty big guys who aren't even able to finish them!
But let's be honest folks....the only reason they can't finish them is because people are simply shocked at how full they are from just a salad, and therefore "cannot" finish them. Pretty lame if you ask me.
Because I've never not finished one of these salads. Sure, initially it may feel as if you're really full, but that feeling immediately goes away once you remember how delicious it is.
So please, get yourself over to Blue Barn and try one of these salads. And finish it.
