There are just some meals out that are so easy to replicate at home.
This salad is just one of many. I took a photo of the salad hubs and I shared at a restaurant. It was huge!
I reimagined this salad to make it my own.I used baby red and green lettuce, diced shrimp, grilled and chopped pancetta, less red pepper and tomatoes, added cucumber, sliced ripe olives, fewer fresh steamed and chilled green beans, sweet onion, grated Parmesan cheese, and a mild vinaigrette.
Have you created any recipes from food you’ve had at restaurants?

Unfortunately, I'm never good at it so I haven't even dared.

We did a lot of that especially during the last down turn or the great recession of 2007-2008 where we decided that we would cut down our spendings on eating out, if there was one thing good that came out of it was discovering that we could copy a lot of them and what's interesting is we could make as much as we can for less, it also cut down cravings for some foods like sushi , " palabok" (a native noodle dish) etc...etc... Naturally there were also failures
and a lot of trial and errors and modifications.

@DianneN sushi is difficult when starting, it takes practice and Japanese patience to roll nori with fillings on those bamboo mats. The first batches my wife made looked worst than oversized spring rolls that spilled out the rice fillings when sliced

i have been chasing the Clam chowder recipe from the Boston restaurant where I first had it for 10 years. I finally figured out they were using Cognac in the soup base!!!

Oh yes we do this as well! Sometimes it amazes me how well my husband cooks-most of the time he makes it even better.
