5 to Try: Healthy Salads

You don't have to be super cool to savor the Macho Salad with roasted chicken, avocados, cornbread croutons and chunky Montrachet cheese cushioning a lemony vinaigrette.

Technically an entree, maple-cured salmon served over wilted baby spinach, spicy pecans with red and yellow tomatoes easily passes as a salad.

North Tuscans would be proud of its innovative blend of grilled ahi tuna, tender baby spinach, garlic-marinated artichokes, feta and kalamata olives.

It may be a chain, but its Southwestern Santa Fe is an original: Lime-marinated chicken, yellow corn, black beans, cheddar, tortilla strips in spicy peanut-cilantro dressing.

Their Fisherman's salad is brimming with protein-packed seafood like shrimp and crab and accented by cubed tomatoes, cucumbers and bell peppers.
