| - Looking for a quick salad for lunch? Looking for a light meal while shopping? This is THE place.
If you've ever been to Chicago, then you probably know about Food Life in Water Tower Place (and if you don't, then check it out). They have a bunch of different food kiosks in an upscale food court setting. The salad kiosk there is fantastic and I've been searching NE Ohio to find something similar. And boy, have I found it.
Chop It Salad Co. opened recently at Eton earlier this year. It got a pretty good write up in the Plain Dealer so I figured I'd check it out. Now, I hate places that fill you up with greens and give you the tiniest amount of actual salad toppings. I mean, it's the toppings that make the salad, the greens are just one part of the equation! This is a place where you can fill your salad to the brim and you won't be snubbed, so make sure you take advantage of it (Yeah, so what if I need my salad filled with bell peppers.?). Beware, there are premium ingredients that cost a little extra. But that's par for the course.
The dressing selection borders on ridiculous. Red Bell Pepper Italian? Chipotle Salsa Ranch? You won't get bored with the huge dressings selection. Similarly, I appreciate the wide variety of toppings. What kind of place lets you have shrimp on your own salad creation? An awesome one.
Don't like salad? Well, you can create a wrap instead! Who doesn't love wraps? You can also get smoothies here, but I haven't tried any.
Service is pretty quick and I was a little surprised the place isn't more crowded during the lunch rush, what with all the suburban office parks nearby. I'm thinking it's the ridiculous parking at Eton that might make some people stay away.
For the TLDR crowd: Good salad, huge topping/dressing choice, quick service, decent prices. (And even though this technically qualifies as fast food, this is very healthy fast food!)
