On one of the last sunny summer Saturdays in Seattle, Spencer and I decided to walk along Alki Beach to soak up a few rays and get our daily dose of Vitamin D.

But before setting out, we had lunch at Cactus restaurant, which faces the beach and is like a little mini-vacation in and of itself.

Here’s my gorgeous Mexican Chop-Chop Salad taken with my iPhone4 in “normal” mode. . .

And looking even more seductive, sexy, and sublime with the Hipstamatic app.

The satisfying salad is described on the menu as, “Chile–lime marinated grilled natural chicken breast, mixed greens, queso blanco, verduras, olives, pepitas, pico de gallo, roasted corn, and chipotle–balsamic vinaigrette.”

For it’s simple beauty and hearty taste, Cactus’s Chop-Chop Salad deserves my Dish of the Day.
