There had to be one Greek salad on this list, and my sources (including myself) tell me this is one of the better items in the area. Enjoy a bowl with romaine lettuce, vine ripe tomatoes, red onions, cucumbers, kalamata olives, stuffed grape leaves, imported greek feta, and house dressing. Price: $9.95

I truly couldn’t tell you if poke is considered a salad, but that doesn’t make it any less delicious. I mean, this dish has lettuce, onions, cucumber, edamame, cilantro, nori strips, and spicy salmon. It’s incredible and, like me, you could totally convince yourself it’s a salad if you’re not completely sure. You can also sub anything you want in or out of your bowl. Price: $9.95
