Welcome To Portland Salad Week!

Reeva's salad. — One of the most beautiful salads I’ve ever encountered, from Reeva.

Welcome to Portland Salad Week 2025! We’re glad you’re here.

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.

But as we start this week that’s all about salad, we thought we’d ask the question, What’s a salad, anyway?
