I really do.
Salads have long been stereotyped as costly, healthy, tasteless, rabbit food that is neither filling nor the least bit tasty. The following salad bars though, challenge this stereotype by bringing to diners healthy yet hearty grub to health conscious individuals.
With the growing sense of health consciousness amongst diners, more and more salad chains are popping out on our island. Read on as we suss out 10 salad bars for you start your #cleaneating journey!
A popular salad chain with more than 10 outlets island wide, Salad Stop! attracts the crowds with its large variety of fresh, customizable salads available and convenient locations. Additionally, they also offer a few of their signature salads and wraps if you don’t know what ingredients go well in your salad.
Besides salads, they also offer wraps (which are huge!), snacks, soups and drinks. I would recommend getting the Roasted Pumpkin soup (S$4 nett). Though it might seem like a small bowl for the price, it trumped the pumpkin soups I’ve had from other places. It was thick, not overly creamy, and complete with the natural sweetness of pumpkins.

Featured on 8 days, the name “Guac and Go” is inspired from the phrase “Grab and Go”. Conveniently located in the CBD area, office workers can grab a salad with their specialty – Guacamole made fresh with Hass avocados from New Zealand and Australia filled with plenty of nutrients and healthy fats.
Not only do they serve a range of avocado-based salads, they also have organic cold pressed juices, an all day breakfast menu, sides and drinks like smoothies and coffee.

With 61 recipes and counting, you’ll definitely be spoiled for choice. All salads are hand cut and chopped by hand, no machines, freshness guaranteed. What I like about this place is that if you suddenly change your mind about salads, they also offer other options under ‘Brekkie’ and ‘Platters’ like Cheesy Scrambles, Omelettes and Fry ups.
Salads come in 3 sizes and there is the option of upgrading your salad with add-ons like Soup of the Day + Iced Tea / a muffin/ a cupcake at an extra $3.80. Great for a healthy lunch option for those working in the CBD area.
