Just Salad Vegan Options

The vegan options at Just Salad, as more than you might expect from a create-your-own salad chain… they are excellent. In fact, we are putting out into the universe that more locations begin appearing across the United States. 

You can create your own salad, bowl or wrap from an exhaustive list of veggies, Beyond chicken, tofu, vegan feta cheese and dressings, but Just Salad also does a great job at creating ‘Signature Salads & Bowls’.

They have even updated their menu for 2023 by introducing a vegan-friendly wrap!

Having a signature wrap, salads and bowls makes ordering much easier by cutting through the overwhelming amount of options. In addition to the salads and bowls, don’t forget about their Plant-Based Smoothies as well!

Just Salad Vegan FAQ

No, the croutons at Just Salad contain dairy and are not vegan.

Is Just Salad’s Batard Bread Vegan?

This depends on what location you visit. On Just Salad’s allergen menuOpens in a new tab. (last updated January 2023), they list 3 different states with varying notations on if it is vegan. NYC and Florida state it is vegan while in Chicago the vegan box is not checked.

We also know that their bread is offered at their other locations in other states but those are not mentioned. This is why we suggest asking the location you are visiting if it is vegan prior to ordering.

Maybe this is a mistake on their end but better be safe than sorry.
