KALE SALAD
HONOR BAR

The Emerald Kale & Rotisserie Chicken Salad is so widely talked about around town, it's almost impossible not to love! It's made with fresh mint, roasted peanut vinaigrette and grated Reggiano. The Macho Salad is another huge hit in the Dallas food scene, and it's comprised of roasted chicken, avocado, dates, toasted almonds, goat cheese and corn. You can't go wrong with either!

If you love toppings on your salad, the Hudson Salad is for you. With popcorn chicken, avocado, cherry tomatoes, bacon, sharp cheddar and green goddess dressing, it's so delicious, you may even forget it's a salad you're eating. If you want something with a little different flavor, try the Beverly! Some of the delicious toppings include grilled shrimp, hearts of palm and crispy shallots.

HILLSTONE
HILLSTONE
The Thai Noodle & Chicken Salad is unique blend of rotisserie chicken, mango, chopped peanuts, basil and mint. You can choose to get it with a prime seared filet, or you can get it without protein. It's delicious -- especially if you pair with the spinach and artichoke dip before!

It's another brussels sprout salad but for a good reason! These brussels come with a little bit of kale and marcona almonds, basil vinaigrette and parmigiano reggiano. This is one of their eight salad options, so if you're looking for something lighter or heavier, they have other great salads to try!
