Best Fall Salads In Atlanta

Salads are a year-round favorite, and just because the temperatures are falling, doesn't mean that the lettuce has to go on the back burner. Salad ingredients will vary throughout the year as seasonal produce influences the chefs' ingredient choices, giving them a changing flavor each season. The restaurants below all offer a wide selection of vegetables and toppings for their salads bars, and all put an emphasis on quality, fresh produce, most locally grown and sourced. If supporting local farmers and growers is your priority, choose your eatery accordingly – they'll be growing your salad year round!

Murphy's goes so much further than the caesar salad on its appetizer menu...keep looking and you'll find out why they call them 'big salads.' These green delights are big in size, flavor and imagination. The mango chicken is topped with toasted peanuts and a ginger balsamic vinaigrette, giving it a taste of fall and taking salads all the way from summer to fall. Try the delicious creaminess of the Maine Lobster Cobb Salad, where the blue cheese and avocado combine for a party for the taste buds.
