Salad St. Miguel

At age eight, St. Miguel was miraculously protected from being mauled by a wild bull. In 1863, at age nine, his parents enrolled him in a school run by the Christian Brothers, an Order which had only recently come to Ecuador. He later joined the Brothers on 24 March 1868 at age 13. He became a teacher at El Cebollar School, Quito, a position he held for 32 years. A gentle, dedicated, and enthusiastic teacher, he wrote his own textbooks, the first at age 17; some were odes, hymns, discourses on teaching methods, plays, inspirational works, and retreat manuals.

He was known for saying the following: "The heart is rich when it is content...", and at Santiagos, we offer that experience with the Salad St. Miguel. Crisp lettuce, black beans, Oaxcan cheese, cucumbers, tomatoes, onions topped with grilled chicken and served with ancho chili dressing. (Mix a little salsa with the dressing, for an extra treat!)
