| - ,We enjoy salads for lunch so we decided to try Chopt, a salad restaurant .
The restaurant has a myriad of salads : you can create your own you, can order classic salads , grain salads , platter salads and sides of salads. There is a variety of dressings to chose from:: the goddess dressing group the nut and yogurt dressing group , the vinagrette group, Caesar group , creamy classics group and their pantry dressings and condiments such as vinegars lemon, olive oil etc.
Almost every salad ingredient you can imagine such as romaine, kale , arugula , spinach etc . tomatoes and, peppers, cucumbers, different fresh and dried fruits , different veges , peas beans , chips croutons, etc plus grains such as quinoa, lentils, millet, falafel and soba noodles . A variety of proteins such as chicken , steak, bacon, shrimp , tofu, nuts and hard boiled eggs.
Different beverages such as natural type of sodas, fruit drinks, are available as well as packaged cookies if somebody wants something sweet . Bread and soup are also available .Prices are moderate, could get expensive with added ingredients , portions are not skimpy.
The restaurant is clean and bright , friendly, well staffed and busy when we arrived .
You stand at the counter and pick out your salad selection or ingredient choices. The salad is chopped on a cutting board in front of you behind the counter ,placed in the bowl, given to you and lastly you pay the cashier.
I ordered the Palm Beach salad with chicken plus a hard boiled egg .
My choice was the basil mint dressing which I did not care for so I requested a different
dressing which they readily
gave me. Initially the salad came with a hot honey vinagrette which I did not want .
I enjoyed my salad very much couldn't finish it ,so it was put in a take out container for me to bring home .
I certainly would return again and try a different salad on the menu
Update:
returned with my dining mate and enjoyed 2 different delicious salads.
I tried the Classic Cobb with a Green Goddess dressing on the side and my dining mate the Nashville Hot chicken salad with a buttermilk Caesar dressing. Both large salads priced around $10.
Certainly a full meal , with ones Vegetable and protein combos.
We also tried the vegetarian vegetable soup, basic in flavor and full of assorted veges.
I noticed a menu for kids salads and a blackboard designating their use of local produce in the area.
Definitively a great place to go to if you enjoy delicious salads . The staff are well organized, helpful and friendly.
