Leading Create-Your-Own-Salad Concept Welcomes New Protein Option with Signature Salad & Wrap

HOUSTON –  Salata Salad Kitchen, the built-to-order salad kitchen that allows guests to customize and create meals, is introducing tofu as a protein option across all restaurants on April 1st. This addition further strengthens Salata’s commitment to personalization, ensuring every guest can craft a meal that fits their lifestyle.

A new Grilled Tofu Salad and Grilled Tofu Wrap will also be available at all Salata restaurants—both packed with vibrant flavors and fresh, high-quality ingredients:

• Grilled Tofu Salad A hearty mix of kale, arugula, spinach, beets, broccoli, carrots, red onion, bell peppers, strawberries, and grapes, topped with walnuts and drizzled with a fresh herb vinaigrette. Grilled tofu adds a plant-based protein, making this salad a flavorful and filling meal.

• Grilled Tofu Wrap Made with arugula, red onions, cabbage, beets, cucumbers, broccoli, edamame, and sesame sticks, all wrapped in a cool cucumber wrap and finished with a tangy ginger-lime dressing. The wrap also features grilled tofu and almonds for an extra protein boost and crunch.

“We’re pleased to introduce these new menu items that respond to the growing demand for plant-based options,” said Michele Maerz, President of Salata. “Our tofu is coated with our signature fresh herb glaze, adding a burst of flavor that perfectly complements our salads and wraps. We know our guests value variety and the ability to customize their meals, and adding tofu allows us to better serve those looking for plant-based or lighter protein options. We believe tofu will be a great addition to our menu, giving our guests even more delicious and nutritious choices.”
