Your foundation sets the tone. Choose from a range of greens or grains to build your bowl or wrap:

• Crisp romaine – refreshing and crunchy
• Baby spinach – packed with nutrients
• Kale – rich in fiber and bold flavor
• Simply Salad mix – balanced mix of red and green leaf lettuce
• Arugula – a lighter option for those that want less greens

Mix and match to suit your taste and texture preferences.

Step 2: Add Color and Crunch with Fresh Veggies

The secret to a vibrant salad or wrap? Texture and color! Choose a mix of raw and roasted vegetables:

• Cucumbers, grape tomatoes, carrots, and red bell peppers for crunch
• Roasted beets or corn for depth
• Red onions, black olives, or fresh jalapeños for a flavor or heat boost

Always go for a rainbow—more colors = more nutrients.

Step 3: Choose Your Protein Power

Make it a meal by adding clean proteins:

• Grilled chicken or steak
• Baked salmon, seared ahi tuna, or baked shrimp
• Hard-boiled eggs
• Tamari tofu (for plant-based diets)
• Chickpeas or black beans for extra fiber and texture

At Simply Salad, all proteins are prepared fresh and seasoned to complement your other choices.

Step 4: Sprinkle in Some Extras

This is where your creation goes from good to great. Add toppings that add texture, nutrition, and personality:

• Crunchy: Homemade sourdough croutons, sunflower seeds, tortilla strips
• Creamy: Avocado, crumbled feta cheese, blue cheese crumbles
• Sweet: Dried cranberries, apple slices

Don’t forget the herbs! Fresh cilantro can take your wrap or salad to the next level.

Step 5: Pick the Right Dressing

Dressings tie everything together. Keep it light, creamy, or tangy depending on your ingredients.

• Light: Lemon juice, balsamic vinaigrette
• Creamy: Ranch, spicy chipotle, caesar
• Zesty: sweet sriracha vinaigrette, thai peanut
