CJ's Salads: Fresh, Filling, and Worth Every Bite
Salad gets a bad reputation in a lot of places. Too much iceberg, too little flavor, dressing that came from a packet two months ago. If that's been your experience, CJ's Urban Cafe is going to change your mind.
Our salad menu is built around real ingredients, bold flavor combinations, and portions that actually satisfy. These are salads you'll look forward to — not ones you'll eat out of obligation.
The CJ's Salad Lineup
Cobb Salad — The classic, done properly. Crisp greens, hard-boiled egg, avocado, bacon, tomato, and blue cheese crumbles. The Cobb at CJ's has all the traditional elements and none of the shortcuts. It's the one regulars keep coming back to.
Chicken Caesar Salad — Fresh romaine, grilled chicken, house Caesar dressing, Parmesan, and croutons. Clean, consistent, and satisfying. If you know what you want and you want it done right, this is your order.
Chicken Pecan Salad — This one surprises people. The toasted pecans add a richness and crunch that elevates the whole salad. With grilled chicken and a light dressing, it's a more refined option for anyone who wants something a little different.
Dilled Chicken Salad — The dill gives this one a distinctive, herby freshness that you don't find in most cafe salads. Light but flavorful, it's a great choice if you want something on the lighter side without sacrificing taste.
Apple Nut Tuna Salad — A fan favorite that sounds unusual but works perfectly. The sweetness of the apple paired with the crunch of nuts and the savory tuna creates a combination that's genuinely surprising in the best way. Great for anyone who's tired of the same old options.
Beet Nut Chicken Salad — Earthy beets, crunchy nuts, and grilled chicken on a bed of fresh greens. The color alone makes it stand out, but the flavor is what seals it.
Why CJ's Salads Hit Different
The difference comes down to freshness and care. Every salad at CJ's is made to order with fresh ingredients that are rotated regularly. We don't pre-build salads and leave them sitting — yours is assembled when you order it.
We also put thought into the balance of each salad. Every recipe was designed with texture, flavor contrast, and satiety in mind. These are real meals, not a side dish dressed up as lunch.
Pair Your Salad Right
Any of our salads pair beautifully with a cup of soup (seasonal), one of our smoothies, or an iced coffee. For a full lunch that won't leave you dragging in the afternoon, the Chicken Caesar Salad + a fruit smoothie is hard to beat.
