Default Best salads

Where can you find the best salads? I am close to Sumter Landing, but will travel (by cart) for a great salad.

You can make your own by going to the salad bar at Winn Dixie in LSL. Less expensive too than a restaurant as they charge by the weight of it.

The Bowlbar, in the same plaza as NYPD Pizza (near Walmart) also has some good salads.

Also...Culver's has a pretty good salads as does McAlister's in Brownwood (though not close to LSL. I've had some great ones at the country clubs here as well. I'm sure if you start your search you'll find your favorites. Everyone's "taste" is different too with these on what constitutes "good".

Bob Evans greens are always fresh and I love their house dressing which is a sweet poppyseed.

Also I love Carrabbas with ranch dressing.

And I used to love Cane Gardens Caesar with chicken. I hope the new folks haven't changed it.

These all sound good. Not a real fan of buffet salads. Can't afford the Jag! Thanks all.

I like the Johnny Rocco salad at Carrabbas. It has seared scallops and shrimp in it, feta cheese that you can substitute blue cheese for, and I think it's much better than the scallop salad at Palmer's, which I think is very bland. In fact it's so good that with the addition of the blue cheese, I don't even put dressing on it.

Good topic...I'm taking notes. Meanwhile I like:

Spinach & Roasted Beet Salad - Red Sauce
Sweet Honey Pecan Salad - First Watch
Oriental Chicken Salad - Applebee's
Chicken Bacon Ranch - Sammy Joe's (Mulberry Plaza)
Broadway Bleu - NYPD
