Jack In The Box Asian Salad

Picked up one of these today, heard their salads weren't too bad. Not exactly a mistake, but not great either.

The Asian Salad is a mixed green salad with julienned carrots, cucumber slices, a few thin slices of purple onion, mandarin oranges, roasted slivered almonds, wonton strips, chicken (grilled or fried), and asian dressing.

The fried chicken I had, unfortunately, was on the dry side, and the strips were difficult to cut with the plastic knife and fork, I ended up having to pull the strips apart by hand. The dressing was sufficient to cover the salad, but wasn't all that flavorful. The roasted almonds sounded like they would be a nice touch, but roasting in this case didn't add to their flavor, it simply made them dryer and a tad more crunch, but removed most of the flavor they might have added if left alone.

Between the dry chicken and lackluster dressing, the salad overall just wasn't that interesting to eat. My quest for a good lunchtime salad continues...
