For many of us, the red-zone restrictions in Montreal have made the “Quarantine 15” very real ā€” and what better way to start getting back in shape than with a flavourful salad?

Within Montreal’s diverse food scene, it can be hard to find healthy foods, or even to remember to look for nutritious options while on the hunt for a tasty meal. And to many, salad is synonymous with sad wilted lettuce topped with a mediocre vinaigrette.

Don’t worry though, that’s not how salad should be. That’s why we’re giving you 10 of the best spots to get salad around Montreal.

Abe & Mary’s

A large selection of salad options and even larger portions is what you can expect from ordering at Abe & Mary’s. They also have a bunch of delicious gluten-free options, which are usually hard to come by.
