Beyond spotlighting Portland’s incredible culinary talent in the world of salads, we wanted to mix things up by handing the reins over to a couple of local Portland kids for the day. We asked them to share their own playful takes on salad.

While these next two creations may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the word “salad,” we love how imaginative, whimsical, and fun they turned out. After all, they’re straight from the minds of a seven and nine-year-old, which makes them as authentic as they come.

The last time we did Salad Week was back in 2022, and we are really happy to bring it back again this year. I’m also thrilled that Judith Rich is back and helping immensely in preparing this week of salad. We have another person joining us, too: Bryan Vance from Stumptown Savings. This is a fantastic newsletter that helps you save money at the grocery store. He inspired us to do a tasting of supermarket and grocery store deli salads, which you’ll see later in the week.
