I’d then spend some time shopping, swimming, or watching the Miami Heat. I’d cook something delicious for dinner, and end the day by spending time with friends. And maybe dancing salsa. Woo hoo!

If you could be any topping, which would you be and why? I’d say I’d like to be egg whites. It’s lean, nutritious, and delicious.

Ingredient Profile: Pesto Chicken

A popular sauce since the time of ancient Rome, pesto has firmly established its place as a healthy and tasty complement to staple foods like pasta or chicken. Pesto items on our menu include pesto chicken, an all-natural chicken enriched with the deep flavor of pesto, and the Pesto Chicken Paradise ($8.95), a healthy mix of arugula-mesclun, pesto chicken, fresh broccoli, sweet sun-dried tomatoes, sliced almonds, and crisp red onion. Fun Fact: Pesto derives its name from the Latin pestare (“to pound or crush”) because it is traditionally prepared by crushing basil and pine nuts with a marble mortar and wood pestle.

Produce Delivered Fresh Daily!

Every morning, each of our stores receives a fresh shipment of produce. Many restaurants are unable to do this as their produce volume does not warrant this; however, we have no choice!

Most of our locations do not even have the space to stock more then one day’s worth of produce. The result is that your Romaine lettuce will be crispy, your cucumbers will be crunchy and your grape tomatoes wont have any soft spots. Being the freshest dude on the block is part of what makes Just Salad so cool.

Mix up your Lettuce


Did you know that you can mix and match any combination of our lettuces? Best of all: mix-and-matching our lettuces won’t cost extra! Our six greens–baby spinach, iceberg, mesclun, red cabbage, romain, and arugula–have different flavors, nutrients, colors, and textures.

For the most nutrients, check out spinach or arugula, both of which are renowned for their health-promoting and cancer-fighting properties. Mesclun offers the most variety in color and leaves, while red cabbage will give you a blast of both color and vitamins. Iceberg is our crunchiest lettuce, and romaine has the most fiber. Find out what’s best for you for free!
