We all could stand to eat more veggies. (Can you hear your mom’s voice telling you to eat your green beans?) Most people don’t crave salad. So what to do? The good news is that numerous options abound in the Summit City for green goodness. Here’s a look at some of Fort Wayne's freshest salad bars:

Easily my favorite option, Cork n’ Cleaver’s salad bar is locally renowned. Eat your heart out, because they have 50 items on the bar. Yes, 5-0! Anchovies and caviar make for an upscale salad bar. Plus the freshness of the ingredients and chilled pewter plates gives the salad a whole lot of crunch till the last bite. They are located at 221 E. Washington Center Road and open for lunch and dinner 5 days a week; with dinner hours on Saturdays and Sundays.
