When I was single and making all of my own financial decisions, Nordstrom was a place I frequented often. The Nordstrom Cafe was a place I ate at regularly. The one and only thing that I would ever order on my visits to the Cafe was their Mixed Berry Chicken Salad. It is by far the most delicious salad I have ever eaten. Now that I am married (to a man who hates to shop) and have three little ones (who also happen to be terrible shoppers), I rarely go to Nordstrom and I never eat at the Nordstrom Cafe. Occasionally I miss my shopping and eating at Nordstrom days. However I do find condolence in the fact that I have been able to recreate the Mixed Berry Chicken Salad in my very own home and eat it in the company of my four well loved though non-shopping family members.
