| - I like to eat and I don't always prioritize eating healthy. When I am hungry for lunch or dinner, I don't usually turn to salad as a first choice. Salad Meister could definitely change that.
I've eaten at Salad Meister twice, and both salads were big and delicious. The ingredients were high quality and fresh. The blend of produce, protein, and dressing was well balanced and complementary. The salad comes with a piece of bread. The first time, the server remembered. The second time, she didn't, but I still felt satisfied at the end of the salad bowl.
To order, belly up to the counter and choose between custom or signature and then salad bowl or wrap. Custom options include an ample variety of vegetables, cheeses, proteins, fruits, grain, beans, crunch, dressings. These aren't just your basics, either. For example, the proteins include everything from seared tuna (premium) to tofu to chicken. The cheeses can go blue, feta, cheddar, goat and more. You can add items to a signature salad, too, for an upcharge. Be sure to look for a board with the seasonal salad selection -- there have been some inspired combinations (roasted beets and goat cheese -- yum).
Of the signature salads, I can recommend both the Campus Cobb and the Chef. I can't recommend the others -- yet -- because I haven't tried them. I loved both of these salads. Loved. For those of us who find texture as important as taste, these salad blends with their range of components are a real treat.
There are only two drawbacks to Salad Meister. 1) Like most campustown restaurants, it gets packed at lunch. Even so, as long as you get there early, are willing to wait, or get your order to go, you'll be fine. 2) The signature salads are on the expensive side. I found them to be a good value, but I can imagine this would be pricey (at around $9 each) on a student budget.
