Think salads are just a side dish? Think again. Miami’s food scene is full of fresh and satisfying salads that go beyond just leafy greens. From Mediterranean-inspired bowls to seafood-packed creations, these salads bring flavor, texture, and creativity to the table.
Abbale Televivian Kitchen
Abbale brings Mediterranean flavors to life with its bright dishes. Their salads are anything but ordinary—think crunchy kale with pistachios and feta, an herb-packed Israeli salad, or the rich and satisfying sabich with roasted eggplant and soft-boiled egg. For something truly unique, the crispy halloumi and grapefruit salad is a fun mix of flavors that hits all the right notes.
Abbale Televivian Kitchen is located at 2956 NE 199th St, Aventura, FL 33180. For more information, visit their official website.
DC Pie Co.
While DC Pie Co. is best known for its pizzas, their salads deserve some serious attention. The escarole salad offers a nutty, savory crunch with walnuts and pecorino, while the summer salad balances sweet and tangy flavors with grapes, candied garlic, and gorgonzola. For something heartier, the chopped chicken salad or the meatball salad—topped with two juicy beef meatballs—are satisfying choices. Whether you’re after something light or loaded with protein, DC Pie Co. has a salad to match your cravings.

El Turco
This Turkish-inspired gem in the Upper East Side offers a menu full of flavorful bites, and their salads are no exception. The El Turco salad keeps it simple with steak tomatoes, Persian cucumber, and green peppers in extra virgin olive oil. The tulum cheese salad combines mixed greens, walnuts, and creamy Turkish cheese for a nice, nutty bite. And for something that really pops, the tomato salad features organic chopped tomatoes, onion, walnuts, and imported Turkish olives with crumbled feta. Pair it with one of their signature bowls for an unforgettable meal.
The Lobster Shack
Known for their indulgent lobster rolls, The Lobster Shack on Miami Beach also excels at crafting delicious salads. Whether you’re in the mood for their seared tuna salad, a refreshing chopped wedge, or the indulgent lobster salad, there’s something for every type of salad lover. Each one is packed with high-quality ingredients that make for a satisfying meal—and one that’s also budget-friendly. It’s the perfect way to enjoy seafood while keeping it light.
Sunny’s Steakhouse
The main attraction at Sunny’s Steakhouse is steak, but their salads hold their own. The Caesar is a familiar favorite, while the gems salad offers a refreshing mix of herb vinaigrette and walnuts. For something with a twist, the endive salad brings together raspberry vinaigrette, dukkah, and clothbound cheddar for a bold and balanced bite. Whether you’re pairing one with a steak or enjoying it on its own, these salads are worth a second look.
