The Best Salad in Toronto

The best salad in Toronto is so much more than rabbit food. Society has pinned down healthy food as joyless eating, but these restaurants are proving the opposite with medleys of delicious plant-based and meaty ingredients that you can't wait to scarf down.

Here are the restaurants for the best salad in Toronto.

4 - Salad Days Yonge and Bloor

<p>Both locations of this salad bar are lunchtime treasures. Find one on the main level of Yorkville's Cumberland Terrace Maze and the other in the Hudson Bay Centre. Salad Days lets you customize your mix, or just go for one of their specialties like salad Nicoise or fatoush. </p>
6 - Fresh on Front

<p>Toronto’s homegrown vegan restaurant brand has multiple locations for salads. Popular orders include their Supergreen Caesar or Cobb salad with tempeh bacon and crispy chik’n. They also offer salad combos to go with their weekly soup.</p>
7 - iQ Food Co. King West

<p>There are multiple counters of IQ serving up salads with whole grocery lists-worth of healthy ingredients. Bowls of spicy kale Caesar come with oven-roasted chicken and roasted grape tomatoes. Their Sababa comes with sweet potato bean cakes and spicy tahini.</p>
