A recent import from La Belle Province, this chain (with locations on Ossington and in Liberty Village) deals in salads heaped with an exaggeration of dietary superstars. With add-ons ranging from hoisin duck and teriyaki tofu to bacon, free-run eggs, nuts, seeds, and more, leafy greens have never been sexier.

It's hard to argue with the motto — fresh and yummy — guiding the team at this King East spot. True to form, the kitchen delivers a slew of salads — including the cornucopia of pristine produce dubbed the Energy Salad — that feels like a flavourful farmer's market in a bowl.

Beyond superlatively crisp wedges, burnished rotisserie chickens and crammed sandwiches, this casual spot near Dundas and Dovercourt preps fresh salads that deserve your time. Eaten alone or alongside the team's other stars, seasonal ingredients are jumbled together until they pack just the right amount of punch.

Salad Days Yonge and Bloor

Live a little, with a custom salad at this takeout spot with locations in the Financial District, Yorkville and at Yonge & Bloor. Sure, traditional salads — from Niçoise to Greek — are great, but who can back down from the chance to wantonly mix and match veggies, dressing and protein with wild abandon?

Fuel your active (or not) lifestyle with light, bright salads from this bustling spot at Yonge & Bloor. Budget-friendly options marry proteins — like smoked salmon and seasoned chicken breast — with enough veggies to help you meet your daily quota.

With locations peppered across the city, this mini-chain can be relied on for plant-forward nourishment in salad, wrap, and sandwich form. Rainbow-hued salads beautifully combine fresh, roasted, pickled and marinated veggies.

At this local chain, imperfect produce ends up in a roster of tempting dishes — rather than the landfill. Topped with savoury proteins, like lemongrass tofu, kalbi steak, and garlic butter shrimp, salads here are heartier than most.
