Eat it in store or take it to go, all items are made-to-order right in front of you. Eating vegan there is particularly easy, especially with their helpful website. Go to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.saladworks.com\">www.saladworks.com<\/a>, click \u201cAllergens,\u201d then select your allergens or dietary restrictions and you have yourself a list of all menu items that are safe for you to eat. They even have a section where they offer modifications for menu items that can be made vegan or allergen free. If you don\u2019t want to go to the website yourself, here is a list of items considered to be vegan. I did discover that three of the dressings listed honey as an ingredient, so those will not be included on this list. There are a few items listed as containing enzymes and natural ingredients. I have reached out to SaladWorks to verify that these are from vegan sources, but have not heard a response.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve eaten at SaladWorks a few times and thoroughly enjoyed my fresh, customizable meal. I will advise you to not be overwhelmed with all your options and put them all on one salad. It will still be a hearty meal, but some of the flavor combinations will not compliment each other. I was caught in this trap the first time I went, but I figured my way out and now know how to order a delicious salad.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Here is my order<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7Spinach<br \/>\n\u00b7Chickpeas<br \/>\n\u00b7Cucumbers<br \/>\n\u00b7Green Peppers<br \/>\n\u00b7Edamame<br \/>\n\u00b7Onions<br \/>\n\u00b7Sunflower Seeds<br \/>\n\u00b7Balsamic Vinaigrette<\/p>\n<p>Another great thing about the website is you can plug in your order to get the nutrition information! My salad is 230 calories with 12 grams of plant protein.
