Extinct Cuisine #2 Extinct WAWA Salads


Wawa (The greatest convenience store in the USA) used to have these great salads with tons of pizzazz and unique ingredients.But the economy caused them to stop manufacturing them (now they only have 4
different types) So Im recreating them all here so in case you miss them you can
make them at home.
Enjoy!

 Wawa Caribbean Chicken Salad

1 Chicken Breast

Either sprinkle the Jerk seasoning on a raw chicken breast and bake in
oven till cooked and dice it up.

slightly then toss with the Jerk seasoning.
Arrange all ingredients over the lettuce and serve with a fruity semi sweet
vinaigrette.
