Where Did I First Try House of Prime rib salad?

I first tried House of Prime rib salad at a family dinner in the House of Prime outlets. It was the summer of 2019 and my family had decided to take a trip to San Francisco. I had heard about this restaurant from friends who said it served amazing food, so I was more than excited to try it out.

When we got there, the restaurant was busy but not too crowded. The menu was simple but full of options, and we were immediately impressed by the selection.

When I saw the House of Prime rib salad listed on the menu, I knew it was something special so I had to try it. And I saw other people also ordering it so I knew it was a popular dish.

After much deliberation, my family decided to order a house of prime rib salad as an appetizer.

This salad was prepared in a spinning bowl. First, they add all the vegetables and hard-boiled eggs. Then, they spin the bowl and add seasonings and the house dressing.

When it arrived at our table, the house of prime rib salad was a sight to behold – it had all the ingredients that I knew and loved from my favorite salads.

There was fresh romaine lettuce, iceberg lettuce, spinach, beets, hard-boiled egg, and croutons on top. The dressing that tied everything together was made with Worcestershire sauce, water, apple cider vinegar, dry sherry, apple sauce, seasoning salt and paprika.

The first bite of San Francisco’s house of prime rib salad was pure bliss. The crunchiness of the lettuce and croutons combined with the tangy dressing made for a perfect combination that I had never tasted before – it was light but flavorful and definitely something I would be making again in the future.

Afterward, our main courses arrived and I was pleasantly surprised to find that the house of prime rib salad had been a great start to dinner – and one that I would never forget.
