Side Salad Spruce Up: Part 1

Breakfast Salad: By Josh

Chik-Fil-A Side Salad: $2.79
Sonic Steak & Egg Burrito: $3.30

Hey there, after a long break we're back with some more combining of the Super Manly variety. Today we decided to spruce up some side salads with various outcomes. We both went to Chik-Fil-A for our side salads and had two different venues for our add-on, so here we go.

I decided to get a breakfast burrito from Sonic. The Steak & Egg burrito was always a tasty treat, so I decided to add it onto a salad. The combination was fairly good. I've never had scrambled eggs in my salad before, but it was still just as a good as a boiled egg. The steak was nicely marinated in whatever juices Sonic uses, and the cheese and tortilla also added a nice touch to the already tasty salad. I used a combination of the packet of salsa that came with the burrito and the Spicy Salad dressing from Chik-Fil-A. As it was described to me, the dressing is a lot like a chipotle ranch, but spicier. It was a good compliment to the salad. The only thing I would have changed was the softness of the tortilla. I wish I could have baked it a bit to add a bit more crunch.

Verdict: Very good. I would recommend this combination if your a fan of steak, eggs, and lettuce. Maybe the lime avocado ranch would have been good with it as well, but we'll never know now.

Verdict: Thumbs down. The soft shell was soggy and didn't compliment the crunchyness of the lettuce. As well, the cheese was primarily in the eggs and didn't spread out to well. Finally, the breakfast burrito is pricey for breaking it up and adding it into a salad.
