Our readers have agreed that the best salads in restaurants are served in bar form, but it’s nothing to sneeze at (that’s why the plastic canopy is there.) Ranking first for best salad is the salad bar at Wissota High Shores Supper Club (17985 Co Hwy X, Chippewa Falls). While you’re waiting for your steak or fish, explore the options of dressings, crisp greens, and toppings. While the second place salad bar, at Pizza del Re (911 N Hastings Way, Eau Claire), has plenty of vegetables, it also has pudding to round out your meal. The Goat Cheese Salad at Johnny’s Italian Steakhouse (4751 Owen Ayres Ct, Eau Claire) ranked in third, a beloved start to your meal at this upscale restaurant. —James Johonnott
