Where do you get your favorite salads?

[Elephantay]

We are going to change our ways this trip
In the past, we have eaten at a lot of buffets and many of our favorite table service meals, but are planning to only enjoy Boma and a couple of other favs and explore counter service and lounge options more this time ( we don't drink much but like the vibes! ).

We don't want to overeat or change how we usually eat at home, which is definitely salads several times a week and lighter meals than we indulge in at Disney. We also would love to avoid spending $2000 on food!
We'd love to hear where your go-to salad options are in the World. Also, we have some counter service places in mind but if there's one you think we shouldn't miss, please share.

Our plans so far:
Boma dinner, Beaches and Cream lunch, San Angel dinner ( kids favorite), Flame Tree
Thanks!

Not exactly a 'go-to' salad option for me, but i have had the Mediterranean salad with chicken at ABC Commissary and it was fine. The Fountain at the Dolphin has a salmon salad I like a lot.

I love the Chicken Caesar salad at Polite Pig. Whatever they put on that chicken is the stuff dreams are made of.

I like the Cobb Salad at Hollywood Brown Derby and the China Island Salad at Rainforest Cafe.

I like the Cobb Salad at Hollywood Brown Derby and the Seared Tuna Salad at Yak & Yeti in AK.

 

[growhappiness]

I loved the salad at Pizzafari in AK.
Greens and Grains Salad: Mixed Greens topped with Garbanzo Beans, White Beans, Red Onions, Pepperoncini, Kalamata Olives, Tomatoes, Quinoa, and Green Goddess Dressing

Oh and at Connections Cafe in Epcot. It was so filling.
Niçoise-style Salad: Crispy Mixed Greens, Romaine, Wedged Potatoes, Tomatoes, Green Beans, Olives, White Beans, Dijon Vinaigrette

Yak and Yeti. It was the only time I thought "Maybe I do want to take my leftovers from a TS meal", lol

The Cobb Salad at Brown Derby is the only one that's really stuck out to me.

I have two I can recommend. The Power Salad with Chicken at Sunshine Seasons at Epcot in the Land Pavilion is an excellent counter service option and the Grilled Chicken Citrus Salad at Sci Fi at the Studios was excellent too.

Docking Bay 7 has a really good and criminally underrated chicken salad that has changed slightly a few times but still my favorite thing on the menu.

And if you want lighter fare in general Satu’li Canteen > Flame Tree. Any of the bowls you can get with salad base.

 

[CinderEmma94]

I really like the fried chicken salad at Homecomin’ at Disney Springs. I also really like the chicken bowl with salad as a base at Satuli Canteen.

My favorite salad used to be the entree salad at LTT-I think it was called the Declaration Salad. That used to be my favorite lunch on a MK day. But now that lunch is a heavy turkey meal, I no longer go there.
Can someone please tell me more about the Nicoise salad? It seems that I saw it offered someplace else besides Connections Cafe. Sounds good.

We used to do lunch at LTT and I would get that salad you mentioned and the OGTC for dessert. We actually tried the AYCTE our last trip and it was a great experience they were able to accommodate those with allergies.

That link is amazing, thank you! I'm especially happy to see info one about Typhoon Lagoon, as we are there for a day. Great options!

I really enjoy the Wilderness Salad with Chicken from Roaring Forks at Wilderness Lodge.

Cobb Salad at Hollywood Brown Derby
Chipotle Cobb Salad at Polite Pig (I prefer it with smoked chicken)

 

[Disneyhanna]

Love the Cobb from HBD as everyone above agrees, here are some more favorites:

Tuna Niçoise Salad from Primo Piatto (or Bar Riva pool bar if you want it plated like the picture) at the Rivera:

Seared Rare Tuna on Crispy Greens tossed with Potatoes, Green Beans, Olives, Tomatoes, Hard-boiled Egg, and Champagne Vinaigrette
So fresh, and hearty! This one will actually fill you up as an entree. Lightly dressed.

Heirloom Apple Salad from the Grand Floridian Cafe:

Organic Baby Lettuce, Heirloom Apples, Sharp Cheddar, Pecan Brittle, and Crispy Prosciutto with a Honey-Apple Vinaigrette
This is a massive salad, much bigger than a side portion and was loaded with prosciutto. Lightly dressed, lots of cheese, perfection! Could be an entree for a light eater, it is a full sized plate.

Honorable mention to the declaration salad at Liberty Tree Tavern, simple but I could literally eat endless plates of that stuff, I need the recipe for their vinaigrette:

The description on the menu is not at all what I've had my last couple of visits but perhaps it's changed?

Okay looking through photos, I have more salads.

Insalata Caprese from Trattoria al Forno:

House-made Burrata, Ripe Tomatoes, Extra Virgin Olive Oil
All I can say is YUM!

Kids' vs. adult portion of the beef salad at Satu'li, always a must for us every trip:


I am not a fan of Regal Eagle but our Candlelight tickets came with a meal, so I had their Power Greens Salad with Chicken:

Mixed Greens tossed with Fresh Citrus Fruit, Sunflower Seeds, Dried Cranberries, and Radishes in a Fresh Citrus Vinaigrette Dressing topped with Chilled Pulled Chicken
This was actually very fresh, very light and refreshing and while not a standout, it was a solid option that's far better than some of the QS salads out there. The chicken was cold, I would have preferred warm chicken.

I have not had much luck with salads at Pecos Bill, they serve them in those little cardboard boats that are so hard to eat out of and they are just not big enough to be a meal or me, I need a big plate or mixing bowl of lettuce for my salad!

The Cobb Salad at Brown Derby, BBQ Chicken salad at Flame tree. and I have had great salads at Wine Bar George thier seasonal salad is always been great whatever it is.
