Reviews from our home cooks
O.M.G! That is one delicious salad!! The dressing = WOW, the extras (almonds, green onion, cucumbers) = add so much flavor, chicken = yum! I'll definitely order this salad every time it is available. And it was a quick fix too.
The cucumber was rotten. The spice of the chicken seemed non-asian for an asian salad. Just wasn't as good as I hoped.
Kale, Brussels sprout mix was tough (especially Brussels, like cardboard), chicken made it look unappetizing, and there could've been at least another ingredient for salad...
Hands down the best meal I've ever had from hello fresh. Insanely good. The crispy cucumber with the sweetness in the dressing was so delicious
This salad was good and tasty, but I felt like it was unbalanced, too much greens for not enough chicken, cucumber and almonds. Also the dressing was too little for the salad. I was able to eat it as a lunch dish, but I felt like I needed something
I could have eaten more! So good. Add hard boiled egg, and tomatos and it's a whole new different salad!
Interesting mix of greens that had a nice crunch to it. Loved the dressing as well
Easy to throw together and tasty. Although the Sesame dressing was missing from bag, I was able to sub a dressing from home.
The sous vide chicken was amazing and so flavorful. I really hope this ingredient shows up in more future recipes!
While we liked this salad, it needed something else. I think dried cranberries would have been a great addition to this otherwise boring dinner.
