I used to work in an office building that had a cafeteria in the lower level. Not many offices provide that sort of service to the staff any more.
I think it was a bit of a throw back to the way things used to be done, but also a consideration to the fact that the closest restaurants were 15 minutes away.
If employees were going to eat lunch during their half hour break, having a food service on site made sense.
One of the salads they served in this cafeteria was corn nacho salad. You can bet that was an item that disappeared from the salad bar fairly quickly. If you weren’t in the early part of the lunch time, you’d miss out.
I often placed a scoop of this salad on my lunch tray, and one day decided to sort out the ingredients so I might make my own version at home.
I don’t claim to have the full secret recipe here, just my interpretation. I think it turned out pretty close. Regardless, it’s tasty and crunchy.
