Introduction
They didn't have "low-fat" Italian dressing on their salad bar. The only "low-fat" or "low-cal" dressing they had was ranch. I recently went vegan, so I didn't go there. Plus, I've never enjoyed the texture of "low-fat" or "low-cal" ranch.It was a very delicious salad, very diverse & very healthy (esp. if they'd had "low-fat" Italian; next time I'll know and carry my own). They have definitely stepped their salad bar up a notch from a few years ago. It was crap back then. No spinach, chickpeas, whole olives, beets or three bean salad. They also have raisins now, but I didn't notice them until I was leaving. =( Too bad, so sad! I know now, though! =) I hope you love it!
Since I went vegan, I knew I'd be able to eat 'something,' but wasn't certain of variety. I had a sweet potato w/ about 1 serving of the salad (total is about 2 servings, I took a 'doggy box' home). Great deal, too. I ordered the sweet potato and we got the salad w/ my hubby's dinner for only 99c. My entire meal, which was very filling and healthy, was only $2.98. The salad bar alone is $7.29 & $8.29 if you add a side of meat for your salad! Now, go to Sonny's and get you one! Was the best eating out I've ever done!

Ingredients
-
MAIN SALAD
Mushrooms, large (approx 2 1/4 large)
Iceberg lettuce (approx 1/4 cup)
Spinach, fresh (approx 25 whole leaves, not baby)
Grape tomatoes (approx 10)
Green bell pepper slices/rings, 5 very thin
Black olives, whole, pitted (approx 20) (I just love them!!)
Chickpeas/Garbanzo beans (approx 1/2 cup)
Cucumber, thick sliced, w/ peel (approx 10-12 slices)
Italian salad dressing (about 1/4 cup; 1 ladle)
ON THE SIDE
Pickled beets (approx 1/4-1/2 cup; ~ 5-6 slices)
Three bean salad (approx 1/3-1/2 cup)
Directions
No cooking required.
Just visit Sonny's BBQ's salad bar or another fine, delicious salad bar (Ruby Tuesday is great & Sweet Tomatoes (East US) / Souplantation (West US) is a super excellent & extremely diverse!!).
I filled my plate full of salad. I put my beets & 3 bean salad on a separate, only filling it about 1/3 of the way. I ate about 1/2 of the beets & 3 bean salad & a little more than 1/2 of the salad. I got a box (For salad & sides; I was going to work so I took it with me) and I topped it off & filled up the box w/ more of everything except for the sides & dressing!
So, I ate a little less than 1 serving that evening.
I never got around to eating it at work, so I ate it for lunch the next day. I just picked out the few things that were soggy, but there wasn't much dressing left so it wasn't much! That sitting was a little more than 1 serving.
The whole thing (plate + box) was about 2 servings! I didn't eat it 1/2 and 1/2 but it was part of 2 meals for me!
