EVERYTHING BUT THE KITCHEN SINK SALAD
This salad is a permanent feature on our menu. It starts with simple greens, then is topped with a selection of market vegetables, three balls, and the sauce of your choice. When topped with veggie balls, it's a serious vegetarian meal, but you can also top it with any ball you'd like (heat up your balls in the microwave for a minute or two to take the chill off). Ladle on your favorite warm sauce in place of the expected dressing.

EVERYTHING BUT THE KITCHEN SINK BROCCOLI SALAD
This salad is so full of different flavors that it will delight your taste buds. It has crunch and flavors that are unreal. Broccoli salad is one of those salads you can add what you want and it is still good. I love the mayo dressing which is basically a coleslaw dressing. Enjoy!
