Sure, folks come from all around for steaks and seafood at Wissota High Shores (17985 County Hwy. X, Chippewa Falls), but don’t sleep on their salad bar: It’s free with every entree, and it's the Valley’s favorite for the second consecutive year. Likewise, the ’za at Pizza Del Re (911 N. Hastings Way, Eau Claire) may be legendary, but so is the salad bar in all its sneeze-shielded glory. Salad can be an entree of its own, and that’s the case with the Goat Cheese Salad at Johnny’s Italian Steakhouse (4751 Owen Ayres Court, Eau Claire), made with spring greens, pecan-crusted goat cheese, apple, carrots, and Gorgonzola. –Tom Giffey
