REALLY GOOD
1st CAULIFLOWER SALAD
The Bunker Cafe Bar Restaurant, Springwood
So the name isn’t that inspiring, but this was a delicious blend of roasted cauliflower, kale, hazelnuts, feta, peas - plus the additional chicken option. A lovely, complex and tasty main meal salad and good #lowcarb option
2nd DUCK SALAD
The Duck Truck Spitalfields, London
Yum! I ordered extra duck. In retrospect I’m not sure that was necessary. The salad is a good mix of leaves, cabbage, cucumber, spring onions and pomegranate; and it comes with hoisin, sriracha and seriously tasty duck.
3rd CHICKEN SALAD
The Trading House, London
This is roast chicken from their Rotisserie and the accompanying salad was lovely, with peas, lovely crumbly goats cheese, and a really tasty dressing. Yum. #lowcarb
4th PEAR, BLUE CHEESE AND WALNUTS
St Julians Club, Underriver
Lovely #starter - the pear is poached and the salty blue cheese is a great foil to the sweet walnuts and cheese. Green stuff is chicory.
5th ASIAN CABBAGE SALAD
The Ivy Asia St Paul's, London
Lovely fresh, crispy salad with lots of cheesy flavours.
6th SMOKED SALMON SALAD
LA ALACENA DE MARIA, Cartagena
Lots of interesting and delicious things going on here! Sprinkling of sea salt meant little pops of saltiness whilst eating , balanced out by the other cool and crunchy elements and tasty chunks of salmon on top.
7th SUPERFOOD SALAD WITH CHICKEN
The Schoolhouse, London
Lovely main meal salad. Good balance of flavours and textures; I think the chicken or other savoury protein is necessary to balance the salad though. (It was an added extra, not as standard).
8th QUINOA SALAD
YAOSAI Bar & Asian Restaurant, Elounda
Bright and fresh with mango, mint and hints of chilli
9th GREEK SALAD
TAVERNA GIORGOS (JIOVANNI'S), Plaka
I don’t think I’ve ever seen slices of feta that big before! The tomato was so flavoursome and the overall taste so fresh and bright. Delish!
PRETTY GOOD
10th COBB SALAD
Chop'd, London
A filling and tasty #lowcarb salad. The bacon wasn’t amazing, but blue cheese was v tasty and all the elements worked well together. Forgot to pick up a dressing but it was still v edible.
11th CLUB SALAD
Pod, London
It’s basically a club sandwich in salad form - nice #lowcarb option. It’s a pre-prepared takeaway salad so set your expectations around that bacon, but otherwise it was properly tasty - sundried tomatoes and avocado were particular highlights.
12th PROTEIN BOX
Pod, London
Is this really a salad? The vegetable matter was somewhat limited... in any case it was tasty and filling, so not bad for a takeaway lunch salad. #lowcarb
13th GYM BOX
222, UK
Decent take-away salad for those looking for a #lowcarb option
14th ASPARAGUS, BACON AND POACHED EGG SALAD
Cafe Blue, Purley
On the plus side, the egg wasn’t nuked! So they’re a step above some of the other local establishments... But overall this wasn’t amazing. Bacon was a bit thick and I would have preferred more bite to the asparagus.
15th MEDITERRANEAN CHICKEN CAESAR
222, UK
Another decent salad albeit I still felt a bit hungry afterwards...
16th INSALATA CAPRESE
Zero Quattro, Purley
The mozzarella was really nice, but the tomatoes not particularly flavourful (it is winter, so it’s unsurprising) and I would have liked a bit more pesto.
JUST OK
17th TUNA NICOISE SALAD
Costa Purley, Purley
Pretty average; chewy tinned tuna and an overly sweet dressing were my particular complaints.
18th BUFFALO MOZZARELLA & TOMATO SALAD
Pizza Express, London
The ratios were a bit off for me; I would have preferred more mozzarella and less tomato.
19th STEAK AND AVOCADO SALAD
Woodcote Green Garden Centre & Nurseries, Wallington
I had such high hopes when this arrived because it looks so pretty! And come on, Steak? Good !✅ Avocado? Good! ✅ Alas, friends, it was not good. Steak was chewy and flavourless; the avocado dressing was so scant I could barely taste it; the overriding flavour is that of raw onion. V disappointment. Only gets points for the actual chunks of avocado being generous and perfectly soft/ripe.
