On any given day I’d choose a burger over a salad, but the reality is salads are better for me. As hard as I try, the salads I make at home are mediocre at best. Salata saves the day with a salad or wrap and plenty of fruits, veggies and meats to make it my own!
About Salata:
Founded in 2005, Houston-based Salata has more than 40 corporate-owned and franchise locations in Texas, Illinois and Southern California and currently has signed agreements to open 40 more by the end of 2016. The “Next Generation Salad Bar” concept is gluten-free certified and offers tossed-to-order salads and wraps made from a selection of more than 50 fresh, pure ingredients including an array of lettuces, vegetables, fruits, cheeses, seeds, nuts, chicken, seafood and vegan proteins. All of Salata’s dressings, soups and sauces are house-made. Freshly made soups, breads, desserts and signature teas and lemonades round out the menu. For more information, go to www.salata.com.
Salata is kicking off the warm months with summertime fruits salad combinations! Watermelon, mango and blueberry add delicious flavors and healthful vitamins and minerals, like watermelon’s lycopene or vitamin C and antioxidants in mango and blueberries.
The summertime fruits salads are:
- A berry-balsamic salad that combines fresh spinach with blueberries, strawberries, cranberries, almonds, feta and grilled chicken, topped with Salata’s popular balsamic vinaigrette.
- A mix of spicy and sweet, starting with Salata’s salad mix topped with mango, pineapple, red onion, green pepper, jalapeno, pumpkin seeds and grilled chicken, and then finished off with chipotle ranch dressing.
- A twist on ever-popular Mediterranean flavors, with watermelon, cucumber, radish, feta, chickpeas and falafel served over a bed of kale and drizzled with lemon vinaigrette dressing.
I was most excited to try the Mediterranean-flavored salad. But when I got there, I chose a wrap with smoked turkey, watermelon, strawberries, blueberries, corn, carrots, greens and buttermilk ranch. It was amazing!
Now through June 15, we can sweeten up the custom salads or salad wraps at any of Salata’s 42 locations in Texas, California and Illinois with watermelon, mango or blueberry!

I am generally pretty boring when it comes to salads. I like lettuce, onions, tomatoes, feta cheese and sometimes cucumbers.
Salads are my favorite during the summer and I’ll be honest, I like to add everything to them. Veggies, nuts, protein, fruit. These salads look amazing and I wish we had a Salata’s here in NC!
I love everything in my salads! I usually will just put it all on my salad! Now I am hungry!
That berry balsamic is calling to me! My lunch today leaves a lot to be desired. I need to head over to Salata!
I love a good house salad. I absolutely LOVE Olive Garden salads with italian dressing and cheese!
Wish they had a salata near me! I love blue cheese in all of my salads
Oh yum those look really good. We don’t have these around here but I will definitely look them up when I am in Texas!
The one with a bit of spice in it sounds good to me. I would even eat it without any dressing!
That salad looks absolutely delicious! I’ve never been to a Salata, I will have to keep an eye out as we travel this summer.
