Salad Spots to try this Summer
Not sure who else will relate, but I LOVE a salad…only if I didn’t make it. Something about getting a salad out hits different. As Summer approaches and all the local gardens are blooming with fresh fruit + veg, it’s the perfect time to try these spots for salads in the Triangle.
Poppyseed market
This colorful bistro located in North Raleigh has been serving up American fare to locals for over 15 years and they have indeed mastered a great salad. They use fresh, high quality ingredients & source locally when possible! Along with delicious salads, sandwiches, and entrees, they have grown even more and now have an expanded wine bar, local brews, and fresh cocktails. Seasonal tip: enjoy your meal out on their beautiful patio!

Happy + Hale
If you’re looking for a delicious salad bowl with an Instagram-worthy backdrop to photograph said salad bowl, look no further than Happy Hale. With locations all around the Triangle, this spot is easily accessible and absolutely delicious. They have incredible curated bowls as well as the option to build your own. Their acai bowl and smoothies are great as well! My favorite is the Chimichurri Steak Bowl. You can add greens so we will count that as a salad. ;)

Farmside Kitchen
This Durham spot has me drooling every time I see a new post from them on Instagram. They take salad to a whole other level! Not only are they dedicated to serving up highly nutritious foods, but also partner with so many other local businesses which is what I love to see.
We work with local and regional farmers and purveyors who value healthy and sustainable sourcing and regenerative practices as much as we do - those who share our mission of making a positive impact in the world. We partner with folks like Hines Family Farms to source local produce, Simpli Good - a women-owned company that sources the best regeneratively grown quinoa around, and other local favorites like La Farm Bakery and Fullsteam Brewery, experts in their craft. - from farmsidekitchen.com
Have I convinced you to add this to your to-try list yet? I hope so. :)

Tazza Kitchen
You can’t go wrong with anything at Tazza Kitchen, especially when it comes to the salads. This spot with two locations in the Triangle, Raleigh and Cary, has been one of my favorites for YEARS. Here are a few seasonal salad creations available now: Crunchy Potato + Arugala, Kale + Chilies, and Strawberry Romaine. I could go on and on, but their tacos, wood-fired pizzas, cocktails, and salads are all wonderful! If you’re looking for a cozy escape with a delicious salad, head over to Tazza Kitchen asap.

Pro’s Epicurean
You know I had to throw in a Downtown Cary gem! Pro’s Epicurean Market and Cafe is, “an eclectic market, café and wine bar featuring authentic Italian and French European cuisine that celebrates the passion and love for food and drink that has embraced our community and nation.” This cozy cafe is the perfect place to catch up with friends, have a great salad, and glass of wine! They have some delicious signature salads, as well as pasta, sandwiches, and so much more.
