We wanted a quick, fresh, light dinner...some veggies, maybe some meat, maybe not. Where to go, where to go?????
We headed down Central Avenue
until we hit East Hennepin...then we circled a few blocks and decided
that Lu's Sandwiches would offer something close to what we had in
mine. This is our second visit.
It's January, so no waiting.
Salads were calling both John and me. I chose a chicken bowl with
noodles, daikon/carrot slaw, mint (oh, that was
a good choice), cukes,
lettuce, cilantro...to be topped with fish sauce
(like a chicken Bun salad). John opted for pork, lots of the same
ingredients plus sliced fresh jalapenos (huh...I know that they leave
the seeds and ribs in here...1 goes far enough).
I was exactly right. The salads
were great....light, very delicious and surprisingly ample meats, and
just as I predicted...John started passing extra jalapeno
slices from
his bowl into mine. No worries...the way
to handle these...pull out the seeds and ribs, cut into 3 or 4
pieces, and toss them around in your salad. Just enough heat...but
you still have the ability to taste the rest of your food. And that
fabulous fresh mint cools your palate after a spicy
piece of jalapeno.
We give Lu's a big YES!!!
