“This is where salads make or break it. First up: dried apricot tidbits! Always a fun add…if there were enough to go around. Not this time. We got only a small spoonful which is hard to split up in multiple meaningful portions. A small nice touch, as were the pepitas, for a little crunch and all, but again nothing too remarkable.
And the dressing? Ugh. “Tahini orange” it says. So sesame, with a citrus flair, so it could work, but there’s also this vinegar-y presence that kinda muffs it all up. Much like my three year old when choosing between dinosaurs or trucks for her night-night pull-up, it’s just so indecisive and kinda frustrating. Like, it should be good, but instead just gets in its own way. Sandy said it kinda tastes like nothing. I disagree – it tastes like something, just I have no idea what it should be. And instead of tying up the whole salad as a nice cohesive dish, it kinda makes the salad a turnoff.
Oh well. It’s not a terrible price at $3, and I appreciate the ampersand in the title for what it’s worth. “
