    Company Introduction

    At Salata, our concept is and will always be simple; your salad is what you make it. As a built-to-order salad kitchen with more than 50 fresh toppings, five salad bases, and a dozen house-made, gluten-free, dressings, our guests can fully customize their salads and wraps exactly how they want with no restrictions. There are many other salad concepts like ours out there, but when you walk into a Salata we want our guests to feel like they can do, be and create anything they want—because they can.

    We believe that when our human growth reflects the growth of our salad ingredients, we can all thrive together – as unique individuals and as one healthy community. Since our humble beginnings in 2005, our people have been the key ingredient that has driven us forward from one restaurant in the downtown Houston tunnels, to more than 80 corporate-owned and franchise locations across Texas, Georgia, Southern California, and Louisiana. With plans to open in multiple new markets including Charlotte, NC, this salad kitchen is poised for growth and to push forward with our goal to share fresh, healthy food with all communities.
