We’re Tossing Las Vegas’ Best Salads

LAST TIME, OUR chefs hand-picked 10 of the Best Appetizers in Las Vegas. Our series highlighting some of the finest dining in Las Vegas continues here with our freshest, tastiest, most fun summer salads. Once again we went straight to the experts, the chefs at our fabulous Vegas restaurants, and here’s what they lettuce know.

Our Favorite Salad No. 1: Shrimp Salad

Where: The Broiler at Boulder Station

Chef Diana’s Comment: The Broiler’s shrimp salad is featured every day on our salad bar. It’s light and delicious with a touch of dill.

Our Favorite Salad No. 2: Cantina Fajita Salad

Where: Amigo’s Mexican Cantina at Fiesta Henderson

Chef Frank’s Comment: Fajita style! We begin with a bed of freshly chopped lettuce and add our special blend fajita steak or char-grilled chicken. Accompanying our flavorful meat is diced avocado, diced tomatoes blanketed with shredded cheese and topped with crispy tortilla strips and your choice of dressing.

Our Favorite Salad No. 3: Greek Salad

Where: T-bones Chophouse at Red Rock Resort

Chef Joseph’s Comment: It is a great salad for the summertime, nice and light with a lemon oregano dressing. It contains baby romaine, bibb and baby iceberg lettuce. Topped with red peppers, pepperoncinis, Kalamata olives, feta cheese, cherub tomatoes and English cucumbers. It is a perfect salad for the summertime!

The salad fork only has three prongs and should be placed to the left (outside) the dining fork, which has four prongs, in a traditional table setting.

Our Favorite Salad No. 6: Lobster Salad

Where: Sand Bar at Red Rock Resort

Chef Joseph’s Comment: Classic diner greens with Tristan lobster, avocado, asparagus, tomato, red onion, hard-boiled eggs, lemon crown and Citrus Louie dressing.

    The tip said the salad fork has three prongs. The photo for the Insalata Italiana Salad has a fork with four prongs. Somebody goofed.
