Plenty of different salad choices

While visiting The Broadway Shopping Centre food court I was after something healthy for lunch and spotted Sumo Salad which I thought would be a good option. While perusing the counter display I noticed two Pete Evans salads available. Just when I thought celebrity chefs had learnt about putting their names to franchised eateries like Darren Simpson's Chilli Relish & Cheddar Chicken Burger. With My Kitchen Rules in full swing I thought why not give it a try. At first I quite liked the flavour burst of the capers in the Pete Evans Tuna & Green Pea Pasta with Lemon Chilli Dressing but after a while I found the salad overly citrus in taste. I also found a large piece of lemon with rind still intact which seemed a bit strange. His other Miso Infused Chicken with Brown Rice and Quinoa was quite nice and was filled with lots of ingredients that I generally don't get to eat very often. It tasted quite healthy. I also tried the normal Thai Chicken Noodle with Oriental Dressing which was actually my favourite of the day. The Lentil & Tabbouleh with zest lemon dressing was also pretty good and filled with healthy tasting ingredients.

SNAPSHOT REVIEW:

PROS: Fresh tasting and includes lots of different ingredients, Energy information provided for each salad, Seems reasonably priced for the interesting salad choices available which are quite tasty

CONS: I don't think Pete personally makes the salads himself

MUST TRY: Other salads as a healthy alternative for lunch during the week
