I was introduced to Mimi’s Cafe a year ago by some good friends. I like that they bring out these homemade baked breads, the carrot cake is really incredible. Other than that, I wasnt really into it until I tried this salad they have: The Blue Cheese and Walnut Chicken Salad. I like salad’s, but Ive never gotten excited over them.
This is the most AMAZING salad you will ever taste (assuming you like: Blue Cheese, Walnuts, Cranberries, BACON (yum!), and chicken). It has the most unique flavor of any chicken salad I have ever had. It is so good, I go out of my way to try get it at least once a week, and its like 8 bucks or something, completely filling.
If you are near a Mimi’s Cafe and havent tried it…wow…you will not regret it.
I love love love their salads, I am not a fan of blue cheese so I have them replace it with…oh, I forget the name of it, they suggest it to me every time, very good salad. Are you still in the Phoenix area? You need to hit up Cracker’s for lunch sometime, great sandwiches and salads and soups and the most amazing bread pudding you will ever eat…if you are interested I’ll give you directions…
Just checking my mail, etc this morning and saw this review. You guys really know how to open up an appetite!! Feta cheese might be a nice substitute for the blue cheese.
I also love this salad very much, but unfortunately I live very far from Mimi’s, so I learned how to make it at home.
Just would like to share the recipe with you:
