Crave-worthy salads that will keep you coming back for more
For many, the mere suggestion of a salad may make one recoil in discontent. With the slew of dull, tasteless salads out there, it’s easy to see why— but not all salads have to be boring. Constructed thoughtfully, a great salad boasts a range of exciting flavours, accented by a bright zing or intriguing bite. Textural contrast is another key factor here, be it the crunch of a candied walnut or a juicy cherry tomato against creamy burrata over leafy greens. Below, we round up 13 of the best salads in Metro Manila that are sure to convert even the most hesitant skeptics.
