Super Salads in Cincinnati & Northern Kentucky

July 8, 2014 By FFCStaff

Super Salads in Cincinnat & NKYEating healthy can be a challenge when you eat out at restaurants.  It’s hard to choose a salad when you are faced with a menu full of tantalizing, calorie-laden choices.  And while some salads can be on the unhealthy side because of toppings and dressings, they can often still be a better choice than chomping on huge entrees.  You can always maintain some control over your salad in a restaurant by asking for the dressing on the side, or requesting light cheese, less toppings, or special changes like that.  The same ol’ side salad gets boring, so we’ve put together a list of great places to grab a salad around town.  Thank you to our readers and writers for helping us compile this list, hopefully it will give everyone an idea of where you can grab salad.  Writing this has even inspired me to step outside of my box and try some new salad combos I’ve not been adventurous enough to try before!

Chipotle

FFC Contributor Michelle loves to get a salad at Chipotle with pork carnitas, pico de Gallo, guacamole…no dressing and it’s delicious!  Visit the Chipotle Website to find a location near you.

Cock & Bull MainstrasseCock & Bull Salad

Cock & Bull has several salads to choose from, my favorite is the Spinach Salad which has bacon, goat cheese, candied walnuts and apples.  I’m a huge fan of bacon, eating it on a salad makes me feel better than eating it on a BLT.
