Super Greens Salad
Dirtbelly offers hot bowls, sweet sips, and plenty of sides, but it’s the freshly made salads that have made this spot so popular.
If you’re feeling sick, this vegetarian menu of earthy gems is ideal, with eight different salads with tantalizing names, such as charred pesto, buffalo cabbage, curried cauliflower and farm berry salads. You can choose any of these bowls and also add your protein of choice, including roast chicken, Cajun chicken, avocado, veggie patty, ahi tuna, or quinoa ball.
For maximum health, we suggest the Super Greens salad mixed with arugula, spinach, quinoa, roasted broccoli, feta, cranberries, pumpkin seeds, almonds, chili flakes and drizzled with a dijon lemon vinaigrette.
