First off I am going to say I am not much of a Salad eater but, ocassionally I will eat one especially from Zaxby’s.   My favorite is the house salad anyway as I was coming home from the Utility company this morning I saw the sign said Zensation Zalad.  I thought that sounds pretty good so after some searching around about it I decided that I would try it for dinner.  It is a salad with Sesame Chicken with cabbage and fried wonton strips that you would put into your soup at a chinese restaurant.  It is served with a citrus vinagrette.   It is served with a vegatable egg roll instead of texas toast like all the other salads that they have are. I have never been one to like vinagrette dressings but, this is a tasty dressing.  I would recommend that if you like asian salads or asian inspired food then you should try this salad.  The only bad thing about it is a limited time item on their menu although I would love to see it as a regular menu item in the future.  I think it is a nice addition to their lineup of food.
