Have you heard about the new salad spot in Downtown Campbell? The story goes that they wanted to call it "The Best Forkin' Salad You've Ever Had," but the name was too long. They settled on "The Good Salad", which quite frankly is the perfect name for the restaurant because when you're done, it'll be very hard not to say out loud "now that was a good salad!"

When Sanad Al Souz set out to open a salad restaurant, he wanted his salads to be more than just a healthy food option. He wanted them to be salads you'd crave and look forward to and these salads are indeed delicious! The ingredients are all natural and prepared daily for the freshest flavor. Nearly everything is made in-house from the highest quality ingredients. All of their dressings are homemade and with the exception of their sesame dressing, no seed oils are used. They only use extra virgin olive oil.

The Good Salad has six signature salads on their menu with each one a chef-crafted delicacy to match a different flavor profile. You can customize each one to your heart's content or build your own salad from scratch. Even better, you can build it online and dash in and out if you don't have time to sit down.

The Downtown Campbell location of The Good Salad is the 4th location in the Bay Area. You might recognize their location as the previous home of the much beloved Brown Chicken Brown Cow. Downtown Campbell may be The Good Salad's fourth location, but it's their first one where they have a proper dining room of their own. Two of their other locations only offer pick-up window service only and the third one is part of a food court.

The Good Salad is located at 397 E Campbell Ave and they're currently open for lunch and dinner Monday through Friday. They're located across from Rad & Co Salon behind Bestie's Boutique.
