“Quick off/on from the interstate. No overly busy intersections to get there. 🥗 This is my first time trying one of their salads. It was relatively good. I should say, though I’m not a connoisseur of gas station salads so I really don’t have much to compare against. All I have is to compare against homemade salads and salads available in restaurants. I would say that the salad has higher quality leafy greens than what I have seen in a lot of fast food restaurants that offer salads, and in fact had higher quality leafy greens than a lot of high dollar salads in sitdown restaurants. Anytime you’re buying a salad though make sure to flip the package upside down and see whether the leaves are starting to look slimy and old. When I looked at mine, everything looked great. I picked up the Southwest Chicken Salad for $6.99, 340 calories, protein 27g, Saturated Fat 6g. I assumed that the saturated fat would be from a combination of the cheese and the dressing. However, the way that Love’s sells their salads is that the salads are placed next to individual packets of corresponding dressings and the utensil sets of fork, knife, spoon, napkin are behind the corresponding salad dressing. So when you flip over that packet of chipotle ranch dressing, you then see the additional nutrition label just for the dressing: 200 calories, protein less than 1g, Saturated Fat 3.5g. Most of us who tried to eat healthier from time to time know that it is often the cream based salad dressings that turn a healthy salad into something that is not quite healthy. If you empty that entire packet of salad dressing, you just doubled your amount of calories, and you’re also at about the halfway point for your daily quota of saturated fat to keep your cholesterol in check. One of my biggest takeaways from the salad purchasing experience at Love’s really came out during the checkout process. Beth was doing a good job of being an attentive cashier as soon as she saw that salad on the counter she said, “Now remember you’re going to need your dressing. Oh, wait, you already picked it up.” This interaction tells me that a lot of customers are not paying attention and forget to pick up the corresponding dressing packet and eating utensils. You will notice in the picture that I took that there are two tags under the salad showing that there is no charge for the corresponding dressing. The dressing is not overly flavorful. It’s more of a ranch dressing with a hint of chipotle. In my personal opinion, though, if you have to add dressing to a salad in order to make it taste good it’s a poor quality salad. Salads should be primarily flavored by the ingredients in them. It says a lot for this gas station salad that it needed very little dressing on it. While it does not have the typical onions, beans, rice, peppers, and cilantro in it that I would normally add, this is also a low cost quick salad not a $15 salad. For only seven dollars I thought this was pretty good. I liked it enough that I would buy it again without any questions asked. However, next time I plan to buy one of their other salads to see what it is like. Also, as another small side note, hooray! Their air compressor worked with tap to pay so that I could air up one of my tires that was having a slow leak.”
