Since I work in the deepest darkest burbs, it'll be a while before I have a chance to try it, but try it I will. I agree that a good salad isn't easy, but it is mainly a question of attention (plus ingredients, as GMatsuda noted). I guess what I was getting at is that it's not a friggin' cassoulet: there's little excuse for restaurants not to offer a couple of fabulicious salads. Thanks — I’ll file that away.

They do the most incredible salads (and sandwiches) side salads and dressings I've ever tasted. EVER. <a href="http://la.foodblogging.com/2006/03/01/incredible-salads-at-healthyca-foods-noho/" rel="nofollow">HealthyCA on Lankershim Blvd</a>, Nth Hollywood. Not open at night nor on the weekends, though... Also, salads aren't really <em>that</em> easy. They are fiddly and it takes a fair bit of preparation to build a balanced and complex meal, plus a delicious dressing. We do eat them often at home for dinner. But when you buy a good salad, you get the benefit of lots of little detail (extra varieties of vegetables) that you probably wouldn't extend to at home because you aren't making more than one salad that day. ^ Meg I know a fantastic place but have no idea if it is handy to you at all.

But I wasn't impressed, especially with the prices. Is Tender Greens worth the money? If you don't mind paying $10 or more for such a salad, yes. I thought the salads were a bit on the meager side for the price. And I've had better salads for less. I'd go elsewhere. Tender Greens uses great ingredients…excellent greens and other produce.

Okay, maybe not easy, but not difficult either. My beef with Tender Greens is that they close at 9pm. And that they're in CC. Why can't there be something like that closer in and open till 10pm? Hmph. Yeah, we need more places to get a really great salad — especially when you think of how easy they are to create. Okay, maybe not easy, but not difficult either.
