These are the tastiest
salad bars in the country
There I was, with my salad on my lap on the way to Paris. I can't help it, but I have a slight allergy to airplane, gas station, or other on-the-go food. Because more than a damp sandwich with slimy ham, gummy cheese, and wilted lettuce leaves is often not what you get. I am the queen of prepping or at least going well prepared on a trip. Because yes, if you have to sit in a car for six hours, you want to have some snacks within reach. So I quickly stopped by my friends at SLA for a well-filled bowl of salad before we dove into the Renault with all the Amayzers for our school trip Paris.
Are you, like me, reasonably green around the gills, but don't always feel like or have the time to make a salad? These are the tastiest salad bars in the country. And uh, if I forgot one, you know where to find me, right?
AMSTERDAM
SLA
At SLA, everything is fresh and organic. And besides the tastiest salads, you also get well-filled soups, fresh juices, and homemade sweets. Is your body screaming for some extra attention? Let’s detox! By the way, you can also find SLA in Utrecht, Haarlem, and The Hague.
Fennel
The salads from Venkel are made from only organic vegetables from farmers and growers in the area. They also work with special local products like Amsterdam honey and homemade almond milk. The menu changes with the seasons.
UTRECHT
CROP
The name says it all: at CROP you can go for a delicious plate of salad exactly how you want it. Fill out a special form with what you want in your salad, hand it in at the counter, and within a few minutes your personalized salad will be in front of you. Isn't that the best?
DEN HAAG
The Foodmaker
Not necessarily a salad bar, but definitely a spot I’m very happy with. The Foodmaker is a Belgian family business that has been around since 1925. The dishes are healthy and often organic. Part of the products for the dishes is grown by the chain itself on its own piece of land. You can go here for well-filled healthy salads, sandwiches, and treats.
DELFT
HAKA
Salad bar HAKA is the first 100% gluten-free and organic salad bar in the Netherlands. Don't leave without trying the vegan fritter.
NIJMEGEN
MUNT
In the center of Nijmegen, you will find this cozy lunchroom where you can eat a healthy meal. You can also take it away. Everything is made in-house and comes as much as possible from the organic corner. The vegetables and fruits come from the Nijmegen area to help local growers.
MAASTRICHT
The Salad Bar
The Salad Bar in Maastricht is the place to be when you want to eat healthily or could use some extra energy. It takes a bit of searching, but once you find it, you won't forget this hotspot anytime soon.
