   There aren’t many places outside of Thailand where you can get your salad tossed for under $10. But that was before SALATA. The first Dallas outpost of the Houstonbased create-your-own salad concept has already developed a cult-like following (even without Tom Cruise doing any of the recruiting).
Choose from a variety of impeccable greens. Then add on unlimited veggies, fruits, nuts and cheeses. Pick your favorite type of marinated chicken or succulent seafood. Add an all-natural dressing (or three!), then ooh and ahh as your salad (or wrap) is created right before your eyes.
   There are enough choices that you could go every day and simply build salads in alphabetical order. Apples, alfalfa sprouts, almonds and avocados on Monday. Bacon, bean sprouts, black olives and blue cheese on Tuesday…you get the picture. The salads are HUGE. And you get to personalize your meal without the horror of a traditional serve-yourself salad bar. Include a delicious bowl of made-from-scratch soup and fresh toasted bread and you’ve got the entire food pyramid spread out in front of you. Then graze to your heart’s content.

Salads: $7, plus $2 for chicken or $3 for seafood Wraps: $6, plus $1 for chicken or $2 for seafood
