The Six Best SLC Salads

Salad, a term derived from the Latin sal (salt), which yielded the form salata, 'salted things' such as the raw vegetables eaten in classical times with a dressing of oil, vinegar or salt. The word turns up in Old French as salade and then in late 14th century English as salad or sallet." - Oxford Companion to Food

Here are some of my favorites to crunch on in Salad Lake City:

The Mediteranean @ Oasis Cafe
Soba Salad @ Sage's Cafe
BLT Salad @ Trio
Asian Salmon Salad @ The Pub at Trolley Square
Roasted Pork Tenderloin Salad @ Fiddlers Elbow
Three Salad Salad @ Caputos
Roasted Beet Salad @ The Tin Angel
The Wedge @ Spencer's Steak House (stinkiest blue cheese ever!)
The Spinach Salad @ Stoneground (best house made vinaigrette)

Update! Jamie Gadette from CityWeekly had some great additions:

Blackened Tilapia Salad @ Squatters
Seaweed Salad w/ Squid @ Takashi
Rastafarian Salad @ Blue Plate Diner
Larb Tofu Salad @ Chanon Thai

Does anyone know where to get the best Ceasar? Post your suggestions in the comments.

This isn't about Ceasar salad and it's a bit outside of Salt Lake City, but the Ken's Salad at Epic Casual Dining on Fort Union I think is hands down the best Salad there is in Utah.

BTW found your website about a year ago, definitely enjoy it. Thanks for the fantastic content!

[Mr. Jesse Walker]

That sounds really good Amber. Can you tell me what's in it?

Glad you enjoy NCM!

There's something astounding about the tomato vinaigrette, wish I knew their secret ingredient so I can mass produce it for my daily happiness.

Additionally, I'm catching up on some of the old posts that I hadn't read before and I can't agree more with Art Crimes Against Humanity. Really great content, thanks :D

[Mr. Jesse Walker]

mmmmm, so the devils in the vinaigrette eh? i've only heard about epic, but never been. i'll try to seek it out next time i'm out that direction. again, thanks for the compliments.
