Restaurant Finds
For this edition of trying it out Tuesday, I decided to share with you two new meals that I’ve had our at restaurants that were yummy!
The first meal was enjoyed at lunchtime on Saturday. Bill and I were out running errands and he decided to treat me to a lunch at Panera Bread since I’d be away this week. He knows me too well 
I ordered the half Mediterranean Veggie sandwich with the Orchard Harvest salad. I absolutely loved the veggie sandwich partially because of the amazing hummus that was smeared on the hearty bread. I’m not a huge cherry person but I really enjoyed the tartness of the dried cherries in the salad as well. The balsamic dressing provided tartness too, but the pecans evened out the salad with a nice crunch.
The next meal I’d like to share with you was Sophie’s Salad at Saladworks. This salad is a featured seasonal salad but I really hope they keep it around for a little bit longer. It contained spring mix, grilled chicken, blue cheese, craisins, pecans, green apple slices, and a raspberry vinaigrette. It was a little heavy but when I had this salad I was starving so I inhaled it. My only complaint was that it was really heavy on the cheese and craisins and that next time I may sub out one of them for some carrots or other veggies to make it more nutritionally dense
That salad looks great. I wish we had saladworks nearby.
I love the Mediterranean veggie sandwich, its one of my favorites! I like to get it with the greek salad from Panera, yum!
I wish I had a Saladworks too.
yum! I haven’t been to Panera in a while- I want to try that sammy!
beautiful meals! I haven’t been to panera in a long time and that sandwich looks really good.
I haven’t been to panera in months! I need to go soon hopefully this weekend!
I also love SaladWorks there food is so good and I love the white plates it comes on!
Both look so fresh and amazing! I would enjoy both equally.
Thanks for sharing!
I need a saladworks! Tasty, tasty!
Happiness Awaits
That Panera sandwich/salad looks so good! I can’t resisist their asiago cheese bagels. Mmm…
The Orchard Harvest must be new at Panera? I LOVE cherries so I would definitely order that, looks delicious!
I LOVE that Panera sandwich- definitely the best thing on their menu!
What a great review! I’ve heard of Panera Bread, but haven’t had a chance to go myself. Anything else yummy on the menu that you’d recommend?
I love eating at Panera but have never tried either of those dishes. The sandwich sounds really, really good. I wish we had saladworks in MN
I love the Mediterranean Sandwich!!! I get it almost every time.
I love Panera! When I’m in a sandwich mood, that’s the one I get! The crust of that bread is amazing!
I love Panera Bread! Their Black Bean soup is so good! I’ll have to try that sandwich sometime though, it looks fabulous.
Oh wow, I want to find a Panera!!!
I’m surprised your Panera still has the Orchard Harvest salad. I work at Panera and we got rid of them weeks ago, they’re a seasonal thing. Soon the Strawberry Poppyseeds will come back, one of my personal favorites haha.
Wow, both meals look phenomenal!! I love me some Panera:)
I love that sandwich from panera! the hummus is soo good, and so are the sweet peppers in it! one of my favorite things to get there. i usually get the greek salad to go with it, but orchard harvest is also a great salad!
Hey! I love your blog! anyways, I was just wondering if the panera sandwich is spicy? Im a vegetarian and I find it so hard to eat things besides salads at places like panera! haha, well it would be great if you could let me know about it! thankk you:D
