Eat This: Mixed Green Salad

efusonparadisesalad2313 This would be an obvious choice. After all, why wouldn’t it be healthy to eat mainly vegetation? But the mixed green salad at Paradise Bakery sets itself apart by upholding fine quality on a basic dish. The vegetables are crisp and fresh, while the raspberry vinaigrette (the healthiest dressing offered) is light and sweet, yet flavorful enough to leave a lasting impression. The portion is an added benefit; while a normal small salad at any other restaurant amounts to three or four leaves of lettuce with scarce garnish, Paradise’s is easily the equivalent size of a large salad stacked up against its competitors. At approximately 80 calories (30 for the salad, 50 for the dressing) costing $4.49, this is a well-picked meal.

Not That: Ham and Brie Panini

Sometimes the best things in life are grilled. The ham and Brie panini is not one of those things. While the sandwich is certainly delicious (essentially a gourmet version of the grilled ham and cheese sandwich, with apple garnish), the panini packs a whopping 790 calories into one plate – about 1/3 of the daily amount of calories. The panini also loads 19 grams of saturated fat (95 percent of the daily recommended intake for fats) and 1580 milligrams of sodium (66 percent of the daily recommended intake for sodium), making it the tastiest heart attack on Paradise Bakery’s menu. Plus, the sandwich comes with one of Paradise’s famous cookies, a surefire solution to any unclogged arteries remaining.

Paradise Bakery changes Salad mixes.

They changed the lettuce mix in all the salads a little over a week ago. Very unappetizing look and taste !!

Salad lettuce was cut fresh daily in each restaurant but now is out of bag. No longer any dark green lettuce.

1) They call the lettuce romaine but it looks and tastes like iceberg lettuce.

2) The “NEW” (misnomer) salad tastes as if were from a bag. In fact it does come from a bag. It use to be cut daily in each restaurant. No longer. It is straight out of a bag.

3) The salads look very pale and unappetizing.

4) The restaurant pictures of the salads are very, very, very MISLEADING in that they show DARK GREEN lettuce. The salads HAVE NONE (ZERO).

Looks like Iceberg Lettuce and it sure as heck tastes like Iceberg Lettuce.

Bottom line: If you like iceberg lettuce out of the bag then Paradise Bakery is your place for “salads.” As is Fry’s,Safeway, etc. etc.
