The Little Salad Shop

Great salads love this place.

If I'm in the downtown New Haven area and want a healthy meal but I'm also in a rush, this is the perfect place to go to!! Always in and out in less than 10 minutes. Good tasty salads and wraps as well!

New Haven Salad Shop is a good place to go if you are in the mood for a big salad with good toppings options. You choose a salad or a wrap and then either select a pre-conceived creation or create your own with the toppings of your choice. You choose which type of lettuce you'd like, four veggies, 2 "toppers," one cheese, one protein which is optional and costs 2 dollars extra, and one dressing. The ingredients here are generally fresh enough and there is a wide variety of different toppings options to choose from. I like the wraps better than the salads because they are a bit more filling and easier to eat.

The best veggies here are the carrots, red peppers, corn, celery, chick peas, broccoli, etc. The best toppers are jalapeno peppers, wasabi peas, and hard boiled egg. Tofu is the only vegetarian protein option and the tofu is usually a bit soft. The best wrap flavour is garlic and herb. The blue cheese dressing adds some much needed fat and flavour to the otherwise tame salads.

They also have Dirty Potato Chips if you want some unhealthiness with your salad.

Overall, this place is a great option for a quick semi-healthy bite. It is a little pricy for what it is, at 10+ dollars for a salad. It's still a great place to have in Downtown New Haven.
