Salad Cravings

Since Pei Wei (pay-way) opened in the Green Hills area a few months ago, I meet friends there occasionally for lunch. Pei Wei is part of the PF Chang's line, but instead of sitting at a table and ordering, you place your order and pay at a counter. They prepare the food and serve it to you. The menus is not as extensive, but they do offer similar menu items at a reduced cost due to the set-up. It is very popular, and if you get there at crunch times, tables are full.

Because I swear they put something in the salad that makes me crave it almost constantly, I always get the same thing - Asian Chopped Chicken Salad, NO ONIONS, NO SCALLIONS, and substitute the lime vinaigrette for the soy ginger vinaigrette (bottom left in photo). (Those little black and white sprinkles on my salad are sesame seeds, by the way.) My friends, who are more adventurous than I (and who don't have the same salad cravings), always get something different like the Spicy Chicken Salad (above right in photo) or Pad Thai.
