When I ask for fresh I mean with fresh greens and food prepared with limited sauces that can easily be removed from the dish to reveal just fresh cooked unseasoned veggies and meats, on my last trip this was really tough to find. I need to limit my sodium so fresh and unprocessed is super important.

We are coming to the area in a few weeks and while I opted out of the parks and resorts for our family I was thinking we might like to do some healthy and hopefully high end dining on property. I am in the process of researching and making reservations.

Specifically I was looking at someplace in the Boardwalk - Yacht club/Beach Club boat adjacent area so we can eat and wander around with a nice family walk in the evening.

Second area we would like to visit is the Disney Springs area, same goals to eat then wander around and maybe catch some live music like we saw last year, maybe grab a water taxi that looked like so much fun.

The third free evening could be a repeat of one of these areas or a totally different visit to maybe one of the other resorts or timeshares.

Anyone have any favorites so I can look up the menu and photos?
 
I’d look at the nearby Signature restaurants as they’ve no/less factory level pre seasoned or cooked foods on the menu. Flying Fish will cook to order as will CBS (not just cake) in that area. There are several possibilities at the “SwanDolphin” but I don’t eat there much to recommend beyond the superior ice cream parlor.

DS is my stand by for eating with little need to make ADRs far in advance. The Boathouse, Jaleo and Morimoto are great places to eat with detailed instructions; other possibilities but those are my regulars. Should you want an ADR, make them on OpenTable. Much easier than on WDW’s website.

Have fun and enjoy yourself where ever you eat.
 
I agree with the PP. Look at third-party owned and signature restaurants. Flying Fish, Cake Bake Shop on the Boardwalk. Any of the restaurants at Swan/Dolphin (Rosa Mexicana was especially helpful with my friend's dietary needs on our last trip). In DS, consider the Boathouse and/or Summerhouse on the Lake (they, too, were incredibly accommodating and our server was incredible).
 
Nearly any of the nicer table service restaurants will prepare low sodium dishes on request - ask to speak to the chef and note your requirements - meats can be prepared without salts or seasonings, vegetables can be offered steamed and salt-free. You have access to the entire menu, and just have the foods prepared sauce, salt, or season-free on special request.
Many of the counter service places allow sides like fries to be replaced by fruits and sometimes vegetables.
You can also usually request any dishes that come with a sauce to have the sauce served on the side. The meats will still be seasoned and/or salted, but heavy sauces can be avoided or controlled by serving on the side.

Found this on Disney's site:

For Other Special Diets Requests
Many Walt Disney World restaurants can prepare meals for common diet requests. These requests may include:
Share your special diets request with the Cast Member assisting with your order when you arrive at the location. While restaurants take reasonable efforts to accommodate dietary requests, we cannot guarantee we will be able to meet all requests.

When to Contact Us in Advance

If you or anyone in your party has either 4 or more allergy-friendly requests, requires pureed meals, or adheres to a medically-restrictive diet (such as very low protein), contact Special.Diets@DisneyWorld.com in advance to ask for a Special Diets Request Form.

We request that you don’t contact us any sooner than 14 days prior to your arrival. With the information you provide, the Special Diets team will assist you in navigating the dining process, which may include providing the restaurants you intend to visit with advance notice.
