Hello All! My boyfriend and I are having our once a month date night. I love to try new salads at restaurants. Even before I ever started dieting, I've been a salad lover. So, I'm curious, what's your favorite restaurant for a great salad? Tell me about the salad, please. I love Panera's Asian Sesame Salad w/ feta cheese, it's divine and only adds up to 480 calories.:wink: I also love the greek salad at my favorite pizza joint, Manhattan's Pizzaria, not sure on the calorie count.:(

Thanks from one Salad lover to the next?!

    Ruby Tuesday has the BEST salad bar ever. Everything is always fresh and there is a great selection of different leaves and toppings.

    I love Panera Bread's Thai Chopped Chicken Salad. I always ask for the dressing and the other sauce on the side and rarely use it. IT IS THE BEST!!!!

    I LOVE the Thai chopped chicken salad from Panera- I get it without dressing or wontons and it's less than 300 calories, I believe (definitely less than 400) IT'S SO GOOD AND SO FILLING

    I love Jason's Deli and Panera Bread salads, but to be honest My favorite is McDonald's Asian and Southwest Salads. Newmans Light Balsamic dressing is the best ever.

    Gourmet Pizza Co, I get the Bacon and blue cheese salad, but replace the bacon with sun dried tomatoes.

    I don't know about the calorie count, but I love salad at Outback. They make the salad to order, not in advance and make their own dressings.

    If you're ever in the uk, Wetherspoons Superfood Salad is great. There's an amazing range of veg and even pomegranate. You can add fish or chicken but you don't have to. It's a cheap, chain pub, so a salad that's actually healthy is a huge step in the right direction.

    All of their regular-sized options are under 1,000 cal., and you can find a lot of choices in the 500 & under range. I think they were voted most healthy fast casual restaurant by somebody (lol). For a restaurant, the sodium isn't outrageous, either.
