Tasting Notes - This Honey Lime Chicken Caesar Salad with homemade Caesar Salad dressing has all the trappings of my favorite ingredients, namely, roast chicken, walnuts, avocado, Japanese cucumber or zucchini, croutons, hard boiled egg, Romaine lettuce.
The chicken is roasted to perfection under the careful eye of Henry Kiong, is tender & juicy on the inside, yet crispy fragrant at the skin. The walnut lends a nutty crunchy texture & sweet flavor to this salad, whilst the avocado gives an added level of smooth & creamy texture & balances the savory flavor of the chicken.
The Japanese cucumber (zucchini) & lightly mildly bitter tinge of Romaine lettuce gives a refreshing crunchy bite to the dish & balances the savory crunch of the croutons which soaks in the Caesar Salad dressing to hold a strong mustard tinge.
The fresh hard boiled egg adds to a fragrant sweet flavored protein to this salad. The diced potatoes are cooked al dente to lend another crunchiness to the salad. Altogether a wholesale heartwarming refreshing combination of flavor inclined towards a lighter flavored salad - the avocado gives refreshing creaminess, soaks in the mustardy citrus flavor from the Caesar dressing made in house at Fresh Garden.
I am almost torn between the former sweet Smoked Duck salad & this latter savory Chicken Caesar salad. But in the end the dressing sort of sealed the ultimate winner - the savory Chicken Caesar Salad.
