QUICK BITE: Emerald Princess Embarkation Day Lunch

We made it onboard the Emerald Princess!  I love that Princess has the dining room open for lunch on embarkation day. 

First lunch was a delicious avocado and shrimp salad, chickpea soup and grilled salmon.  I have had the salad and the salmon before.  Both still as good as I remember.  The salad had some shredded  radichio to prevent it from being too sweet.  The salmon was cooked to a perfect medium with a delicate butter sauce.  Some al.dente vegetables for  crunch.  

The standout for me was the chickpea soup.  

This was like an Italian Tuscan bean soup. Great flavor of oregano, onion and a hint of garlic.  So smart to use the chickpeas.  Some were pureed to provide the creaminess and others were left hold for texture . A smartly designed soup.  

For dessert it was espresso, vanilla and Nutella ice cream. 
 I had wanted chocolate which they didn't have that so our server brought "replacements".  All very good. The espresso had great notes of coffee and cream.
