Ordinarily, when you think of a great fall salad, your mouth waters for fresh tomatoes, greens, fruits and a wide variety of newly harvested vegetables. Three Monkeys serves all of that, but with a healthy helping of delicious pulled pork on top. It's called the Fall Off The Bone Salad, and it is fabulous. While Three Monkeys is known for its great BBQ, the customers come from miles around to partake in this culinary treat. Not only is the menu full of great BBQ and salad items, but the prices are right, too. For only $9.99, you can make a meal of the Fall Off The Bone Salad and come back later for dinner to enjoy soups, sandwiches, pastas, entrees and desserts.

When you think of Balducci's, the first thing that comes to mind might not be fall salads, but you might want to rethink that. Balducci's has developed a great reputation for serving Italian foods, pizzas, pastas and wines, but its salads are also a meal not to be missed. Since 1975, Balducci's patrons have been pairing fresh Balducci Combination, Chef, Aspen, Mayfest and Spinach salads with their pizzas and wines, or enjoying them as a meal on their own. And while the restaurant serves a wide variety of dressings for those salads, its signature House-Creamy Parmesan dressing is what sets its salads apart from other fall salads, with an Italian flair. Stop in on an autumn afternoon or evening at the restaurant or the winery. Can you think of a better way to enjoy a fall day?
