🥗 Craving a healthy dinner that won’t taste like cardboard? Salad Master figured it out. When sticking to a health-conscious diet, many obstacles make themselves known rather quickly — you either find yourself alternating between a limited number of meal options, or you simply find yourself eating bland, tasteless chicken. At Salad Master, you’ll have neither of these problems.

Like a kid in a veggie store. Salad Master’s menu shuts down the stereotype that healthy food needs to be boring. The eatery’s menu is not limited to a meal or two, but a bit of everything. You’ll find all sorts of soups — think onion, mushroom, and cream soups — fully customizable salads, a slew of low-calorie sandwiches, pastas that don’t miss out on any of the flavors, and main dishes that are as filling and delicious as they are good for you — and don’t worry about calculating the calories, they’re written for you to see.

We got a little creative with our salads. The menu gives you the option to choose between a selection of ready-made salads, but we decided to get a little experimental with the customized option. We put in two orders — one with a lettuce base, brimming with mushrooms, onions, red beans, jalapeno, grilled eggplants, corn, and topped with a generous dollop of light ranch, and the other a pasta base with broccoli, mushroom, bell peppers, chickpeas, and a dash of honey mustard. Both 750 ml salads came filled to the brim, and left us with no room for dessert — which we’re not mad about considering we’re trying to eat healthy here, folks.

Now, for the main event. Given that the salads managed to fill us up for lunch, we called it a — metaphorical — day… but came right back for dinner. For round two, we ordered Alfredo pasta, grilled chicken in mushroom sauce meal, grilled salmon, and a BBQ chicken with turkey sandwich. The Alfredo pasta did not disappoint, surprisingly exceeding our humble expectations — the sauce was just right, and we may have found ourselves regretting only getting one.

The grilled chicken in mushroom sauce takes the cake. If you’re going to give Salad Master a shot, this is what you need to grab in your first order. Meals come with two sides of your choice — basmati rice, grilled veggies, or baked wedges. Pro tip: Drench the veggies and wedges with mushroom sauce. The grilled salmon had no glaring faults, rather just the victim of being overshadowed by its poultry predecessor.
