Savoring Salads for Summertime Bliss

As the sun shines and temperatures rise, there’s nothing more refreshing than having one of the best salads to beat the summer heat. Known for our commitment to thoughtfully sourced, scratch-made food, we offer a wide variety of salads to choose from at each of our locations in DC, VA, MD & PA. Whether you are in the mood for something light, or a heartier entree salad, we have something that will satisfy your taste buds. 

Our Farmers Salad stands tall as a guest favorite, encompassing a medley of crisp mixed lettuce, avocado, succulent dates, tomatoes, juicy grapes, almonds, freshly shaved parmesan, and flavorful olives. Accompanied by our delightful combination of champagne and sherry vinaigrettes, this salad is a testament to our dedication to using only the freshest produce. 

If you love all things “green,” we have the perfect salad for you. Another favorite is our Good All Green Salad featuring a mix of lettuce, crisp broccolini, green beans, sweet green apple, avocado, feta, and crunchy toasted seeds. It’s served with lemon vinaigrette and a drizzle of our house-made garlic herb vinaigrette to add the perfect burst of bright flavors. 

Our take on a Caesar Salad has a twist, elevating the classic dish to new heights. Featuring tender little gem lettuce, a complex mix of parmigiano reggiano & pecorino romano cheeses, and our unbeatable house-made biscuit and cornbread croutons, this salad offers an explosion of flavors and textures. The decadent Caesar dressing binds all the goodies perfectly together. 

For those looking for a more adventurous salad, our Spicy Ahi Tuna Poke is a vibrant salad bringing together fresh napa cabbage, avocado, crisp bell peppers, onions, aromatic cilantro, basil, mint, and a flavorful sesame vinaigrette. The star of the show is the mouthwatering sushi-grade Ahi Tuna tossed in a Kung Pao sauce, which adds a kick of spiciness. 

For seafood enthusiasts, the Louie Cobb salad is a is a treasure trove of oceanic delights featuring succulent crab, tender shrimp, or a combination of both. Crisp lettuce, ripe avocados, juicy tomatoes, hard-boiled eggs, and tangy Louie dressing complement your choice of seafood, creating a satisfying experience with every bite. 

While the above salads are definite showstoppers, we have a plethora of other mouthwatering salads to explore. Check out each location’s menu to see what is available like our Farro Arugula Salad, Many Vegetable Salad, Blue Cheese Steak Salad, Crazy Corn Chicken Salad, Spinach Bacon Blue Salad, and so many more.  

Beat the heat and treat yourself to refreshing salad made with simple, high-quality ingredients, sourced from American family farms. Make a reservation or order online and indulge in the wholesome goodness of Founding Farmers‘ salads.
