Who Made It Best?

Last week I was prompted to purchase a Panera Strawberry Poppyseed Salad, a seasonal product, before they “went away.” J and I shared and enjoyed it for supper.

It reminded me of the McAlister’s Pecanberry Salad (which is also seasonal), so we shared and enjoyed that the next night.

Panera
Strawberry Poppyseed & Chicken Salad
$10.59
Grilled chicken, fresh strawberries and blueberries, fresh pineapple, mandarin oranges, crunchy pecan with fat-free poppyseed dressing on mixed greens including romaine

McAlister’s
Pecanberry Salad
$9.69
Grilled chicken, fresh strawberries and blueberries, candied pecans with fat-free raspberry pecan vinaigrette on mixed greens

Both salads were tasty. I liked the additional fruits in the Panera salad. And the mixed greens were slightly better. I enjoyed both the dressings. I especially liked the candied pecans in the McAlister’s salad. Overall, these two salads rated about the same.

I’ll look forward to these salads next summer.
