Chicken and Parmesan Salad from Great Greens Grains & Grains

 


Those who don't know Carmina loves to explore eating salad around. Trying something new is the thrill because you get to write down all your experiences.

Great Greens has a variety to pick from and my target came to anything that had Chicken and Parmesan Salad for PHP 238.00 ($4.33) not including delivery fee through Grab Food.

Chicken and Parmesan Salad includes the following ingredients grilled chicken tenders, romaine lettuce, red cabbage, tomato, onion and quinoa. I had requested not to add quinoa and have the dressing Garlic Aioli on the side. 

I prefer adding Ranch Dressing on any salad because it is my favorite that I have store in my fridge at home.

Carmina has also tried Salmon Teriyaki Salad on the month of March 31, 2022.
