The Dianne salad has become Green Street's signature dish, and it accounts for a third of the restaurant's sales. Such success was unexpected, but the combination of flavors brought patrons returning for more, as it was an immediate hit and remains a staple in Pasadena's dining scene. It's fascinating how a simple dinner party contribution turned into a phenomenon within the community."

The hearty salad's unique taste captivated everyone, and it became an essential dish at Green Street restaurant, which strategically opened just a month later. The recipe itself is a labor of love, as diligent preparation is vital to maintain its consistent flavor that keeps customers loyal.
