My family and I have long been fans of Panera Bread. It’s one of the few places that my twins love to eat. They often ask to go Panera Bread after church but call it that “place with the soup and bagels“. Guess, Panera is a bit of a difficult word.  We always say yes because there is always something for “everyone” in my family.  Whether we are in the mood for their scrumptious, fresh pastries or soup, salad and sandwiches…we know we’ll be getting great, fresh food.

The Asian Sesame Chicken Salad and Broccoli Cheese soup are my general go-to favorites. I’m one of those people that find something they love on a menu and go to it each and every time. You can say I’m not very adventurous. But when I was presented with the opportunity to give Panera’s NEW Strawberry Poppyseed and Chicken Salad a try…well, I knew it was the perfect time to become a little more on the daring side.

Woohoo! So glad I did. The Strawberry Poppyseed Chicken Salad is filled with fresh lettuce, tender chicken, strawberries, pineapple, mandarin oranges, blueberries and walnuts complimented with a delicious Poppyseed dressing.  . Definitely a summer must try that will become a staple in your summer menu.

Personally I loved the freshness of the entire salad. I’ve been watching alot of food cooking shows lately and their motto is that we “eat with our eyes before our mouths” and I am beginning to truly understand their reasoning behind that statement. The Strawberry Poppyseed Chicken Salad is bright, fresh and delicious to look at…with the reds, yellows, blues and oranges popping off your plate…all I can say is “WOW”!  I was anxious for my first bite…just by looking at it.

Overall…we had a wonderful time sampling the NEW summer offerings. But remember the Strawberry Poppyseed Chicken Salad is available for a limited time so you need to hurry on in there and give it a try. You’re going to love it!
