Supersized Salad

Lunch was in Berkeley (California, of course!) It was my birthday and it was a day of lots of fun things that started with a salad so huge it had to be shared in a great restaurant on Telegraph Ave. called Terramezzo (sp?).

The salads are tossed fresh in 12-inch wooden salad bowls and served with a hunk of fresh baked hearty bread and of course your choice of dressing.

The lettuce was fabulous. The tastiest lettuce I've eaten in quite a long time with a real filling feel. Our salad came with garbonzo + kidney beans, sprouts (not to my liking), tomatoes, hard-boiled egg, cucumber, carrot and half an avocado. I choice the herbal vinagrette and it was the perfect blend of light, sweet and vinegary taste for the salad.

There are tons of small tables and even some benches with small counters to enjoy your salads. If you don't want just a salad there are soup and sandwich options too. The place was packed with students and other academia, but well worth it for just over $5.00 for the giant bowl. Perfect for sharing.
