With the Spring weather approaching, it’s time to ditch the warm comfort food and bring the cool, crisp salads back into our diets. There’s nothing like a nice salad on a warm city day- it’s a whole VIBE in our opinion- and Toronto is FULL of options. Whether you’re into the classic mixed greens, or a loaded taco salad- we’ve got you covered.
Here are the best salads in Toronto:
Cavolo Nero- Gusto 101
Made with organic lacinato kale and topped with their lemon vinaigrette, toasted pine nuts and parmigiano. Gusto 101 is a local Italian favourite and a Toronto salad staple! You can pair this bad boy with a delicious pizza or enjoy it on it’s own with a nice glass of red.
Taco Salad- Globally Local
Globally Local is Toronto’s fave plant-based fast food hotspot and they have a killer taco salad. Topped with vegan cheese, vegan sour cream, green onions, tomatoes and a plant-based meat- this salad is a show stopper.
