Offering nothing but salads, Just Salad has a variety of salads to choose from, but we recommend the Caesar. It's served with extra-crisp romaine lettuce and shredded kale, then topped with oven roasted chicken, shaved Parmesan and garlic butter croutons. The Caesar dressing is house-made, so you won't taste another Caesar quite like this.

Mixed Greens
