5 Salad Recipes to Try 

From crisp greens and not-so-traditional toppings, to hearty proteins and tangy dressings, salads are a delicious way to combine flavor, color, and creativity.  Here are 5 to try this year:

1. Our Go-To Green Salad 

The savory flavors combine with a slight crunch from the dried ramen noodles and balances the boldness of the sweetened soy sauce dressing...yum! This salad IS a piece of the menu, it’s not your typical side of lettuce that often goes unnoticed or unremembered. The flavors provide a complementary side to any type of dish and you can truly do no wrong with this delicious recipe. 

2. 1905 Salad 

Savory, hearty, and full of flavor, this 1905 Salad will have you reaching for seconds. Crunchy iceberg lettuce combines with julienned ham and Romano cheese to bring an elevated take on your favorite house salad. 

3. Italian Chopped Salad 

Italian Chopped Salad is a healthy, tangy and refreshing take on a typical house salad. The combination of tart and nutty arugula with bites of juicy and flavorful cherry tomato, topped with a sweet and zesty dressing, ensures that guests will come back for seconds.    

4. Grilled Caesar Salad  

This unique spin on a salad features pancetta and egg additions, making it hearty enough to stand on its own, yet light enough to serve alongside {or underneath!} a simple protein. Plus, the texture notes are next level thanks to the crunch of the breadcrumbs and the creaminess of the dressing. 

5. Seven Layer Salad 

Bring delicious vegetables in vibrant hues with a pretty presentation to the table with our Seven Layer Salad recipe. Lettuce layered with rich and tasty vegetables and topped with cheese and bacon creates the ultimate, colorful, impressive salad.
