I'm really in the mood for a good salad today. I'd usually hit Relish or The Grove, but they're closed today. I'm willing to drive out of my usual downtown corridor for one today. Whats open? Whats your favorite?
I would also add (besides Cafe Voila & Le Crepe Pierre) Sofia's on north 4th Street a couple of blocks south of Osuna. The salad that comes w/ all entries is great, but the salad by itself, which can be topped w/ steak, grilled chicken, or the fresh fish of the day for under $10 is magnificent.
Or the Laab at Sakura Sushi, on Wyoming just south of Montgomery is an amazing salad & comes w/ either pork, chicken, beef, or shrimp.
okay here (from a meat eater)
My favorite salad place is The Cooperage. On Lomas, just east of Louisianna. I love their salad bar. It's only $3.00 with any entree (which includes the lunch specials, or the prime rib quesadilla which two can share). They have the freshest stuff, it's chilled in beds of crushed ice, and they also include soups. My favorite is the green chile chicken cream soup. It's the best in the city.
