when i got home from work with dad, mom said she went to costco. she bought salad, chicken, chex mix, and some other things. she asked what i wanted for dinner, and i told her i didn’t know, but not to worry because i’ll figure it out after i workout. i head to the basement to do 38 minutes on the elliptical, and a few body-weight workouts. when i finished, i went up stairs to browse the fridge. i wanted to eat something light so i opted for the salad. it was a kit that came with lettuce, dressing, cheese, etc. i opened it, poured some on a plate. i didn’t want to eat cheese, but i put the dried croutons on top. they aren’t croutons, but they are. they are slimmer and taste better. hesitant because i had never had this type, i put the dressing on. mom said it was balsamic vinaigrette, whatever that means. i got some shredded chicken to finish off the salad. after the first bite, i was in love. i didn’t know wtf was going on. from the lettuce to the dried bread, to the chicken, to the dressing, it was absolutely delicious. before, i only ate the santa fe salad, but this was on a whole ‘nother level. luckily i have 2 or so more salads left in the bag, because i wouldn’t mind having this for lunch tomorrow. even dinner, too. i can’t explain it. i don’t know why it was so good. dad said it was because i was hungry, and although that probably played a factor, it was something else, too.
balsamic vinaigrette dead ass changed my life wtf.
