figuring out how to define an “eating healthy” resolution is almost as hard as maintaining it for an entire year, but here’s a helpful tip: eating healthy is incredibly easy when your healthy food choices are also delicious. for proof, look no further than the salad menu at big front door.
avoberry
looking for something light yet filling for a healthy lunch? something with so many bright and distinctive flavors you’ll feel like you’re eating spring out of a box? try our fan-favorite avoberry salad with juicy chunks of strawberry, generous slices of avocado, cool cucumber, tangy red onion, creamy goat cheese, crunchy almonds, and house-made balsamic vinaigrette on the side.
the fog
the stereotype of sunny california is somewhat shattered if you travel upstate, where you can find blankets of ocean fog rolling over coastal areas like san francisco and humboldt county. bfd’s the fog salad tosses delectable humboldt fog goat-milk cheese with blackened chicken, red onion, cucumbers, grapes, and candied walnut, paired with house-made sun dried tomato vinaigrette. because there’s more to california than just palm trees and sunshine.
sesame chicken
did you know we roast and smoke all our meats in-house? do you know why? because nothing dresses up a salad like a generous portion of succulent roast chicken. combined with crisp (and healthy!) vegetables like scallions, carrots, pea sprouts, and peppers, our sesame chicken salad boasts an asian flair with juicy chunks of orange, crispy noodles, and a delectable house-made sesame vinaigrette.
duck cranberry
you’re so used to seeing grilled chicken and roasted turkey on salads that you might have forgotten about another fowl in the salad topping playbook. our duck cranberry salad features savory shreds of house-roasted duck meat mingling with tart cranberries, roasted walnuts, and aromatic crumbles of maytag blue cheese, finished off with a splash of tangy house-made orange vinaigrette.
grapevine
for our friends who are resolving to eat more veggies and fewer carbs this year, we recommend the vegan grapevine salad, which some have described as an explosion of flavors, colors and textures in your mouth. in addition to juicy grapes, we toss in crunchy almonds and pistachios, sweet dates, creamy avocado, onions, and ripe roma tomatoes. all that’s left is our fresh house-made orange vinaigrette and boom—your taste buds won’t know what hit them.
