4 Ingredients for the Perfect Salad

Thanksgiving Day is approaching, and the holiday season is looming. Get ready for the foooood! 

If you’re anything like us, you’ll find your intake of sweets and unhealthy comfort food skyrockets this time of year. Want something to balance the extra calories? How about a salad! Here at Tricky Fish near me, we have some incredible salads on the menu, perfect for a healthy meal to balance those not-so-healthy meals this time of year. What makes our salads so great? Here are 4 ingredients for the perfect salad: 

1.  Leafy Greens

Of course – every salad starts with the freshest greens. We source ours from the best suppliers, meaning we’ve got a fresh bed of lettuce to start every salad. Whether it’s mixed greens or crunchy Romaine, you know it’s fresh – which means it has even more vitamins and minerals to support a healthy diet. 

2.  Unique Toppings

Okay – here’s where it gets interesting. Anyone can make a salad, but at Tricky Fish, we pride ourselves on offering a unique variety of toppings that balance the senses. For example, let’s talk about the D.G.S. – or Darn Good Salad. This is one of our most popular salads, and it’s truly the toppings that make it so great. Enjoy spiced pecans, onion, blue cheese, dried cranberries, and crunchy croutons, all perfectly blended for a variety of texture, sweet and savory, and more. Another favorite that is loved for its toppings is the Low Country Cobb. We take a traditional Cobb Salad and mix it up a bit. Sure, it has egg and bacon, but we also mix in okra, banana peppers, tomato, and blue cheese for an exceptional flavor combo. 

3.  Perfect Proteins

Any salad can go from side salad to the main entrée if you add in the perfect protein to finish it off! All of our salads here at Tricky Fish near me can be served without a protein, or you can add in your choice of grilled chicken, grilled shrimp, or grilled salmon. Each grilled option is healthy and lean, providing a guilt-free protein to help get you through your day. 

4.  House Dressings

 No salad is complete without a mouthwatering dressing to top it off. Each of our house dressings balances the flavor profile of our salads, giving just the right “zing” to finish it off. Whether you are enjoying our Caesar Salad with the Caesar dressing, our Balsamic Vinaigrette on the D.G.S. salad, or the Honey Mustard Vinaigrette on the Low Country Cobb, you can ensure the dressing is a perfect match for your salad.
