Jonesing for Salad Kathleen

By Julie Blacklidge |

Every day the good people at Kathleen’s Art Cafe send a mobile waiter carrying a basket stuffed with hearty lunch options to the D offices. I’m on the second floor, which means that by the time I get down to the first floor kitchen there are several hungry people in front of me perusing through the pork loin sandwiches, chunky Caesar salads, slabs of chocolate cake, and most importantly, the Salad Kathleen. It takes a great deal of self control to watch the last Salad Kathleen leave in the hands of a happy co-worker without tackling the skinny thing and running back to my desk in victory. This salad is a masterpiece. It is loaded with crispy green lettuce, peanuts, green olives, smoked chicken, and scallions. Dressed with a Japanese rice wine vinaigrette, the flavors join together to create a tangy, smoky flavor nirvana. I’m so addicted to this salad and have yet to find another that can assuage my daily lunchtime desire. Have a favorite salad? Comments are open.
