Where’s Your Favorite Salad?

TEN VEGGIE CHOP SALAD AT TAURUS: the height of salad days.

My review of the Shed at Glenwood in today’s Living section waxes on about chef Daniel Atwood’s fresher-than-fresh gold-and-red beet salad with Sweet Grass Dairy goat cheese, orange segments and micro greens, splashed with white Balsamic vinegar. It’s incredibly refreshing. This is such an overused combo, and yet at the Shed it’s made new again.
I had another delicious salad at Parish last week — a “sunflower” salad highlighted by sunchokes, sunflower seeds and fresh spears of baby corn. The arugula salad splashed with vinaigrette and showered with shavings of Parm at Baraonda has always been a favorite, and I love the chopped veggie salad at Taurus in Buckhead.
It’s the best time of the year for fresh salads — even if the salmonella outbreak means we have to lay off store-bought tomatoes (grape and vine-ripened tomatoes are exempt) for a while.
What restaurant makes your favorite salad?
