Giardino Gourmet Salads Coming to SoBe

20080519Giardino.JPG Giardino Gourmet Salads, which currently has locations in Coral Gables and Doral, will be opening up a new branch on South Beach this month. They specialize in interesting salads that mix a variety of unusual ingredients — think watercress, brie, pistachios and plantain chips — with savory homemade dressings and croutons. Our favorites are the Habanero (spicy watercress, garbanzo beans, tomatoes, avocados, cucumbers and plantain chips tossed in a citrus culantro vinaigrette) and the Fizz (arugula, strawberries, gorgonzola and roasted garlic). Their prices have gone up since the first store's opening in the Gables; it's now $6 instead of $5 for a piccolo, $8 instead of $7 for a basta, etc., although the add-ons, including meat, are still the same price. For the quality and the freshness of the ingredients, Giardino is a welcome addition to the South Beach fast food scene.
