Salmon Samurai
From the likes of Standing Sushi Bar and Tanuki Raw comes 100AM’s Salmon Samurai. To curb sashimi AND salad cravings both at once, build your own bowl (from $9.90) with sides like avocado, onsen egg and mixed nuts. The piece de resistance is, of course, a generous portion of fresh salmon cubes on top — we like both the Roasted Sesame and Garlic Shoyu Salmon.

Guacamole
Ideal for takeaways, Guacamole’s hearty Mexican-inspired salads (from $8.90) come with a lettuce base, five fixed toppings and a choice of protein and sauce. You won’t regret forking out the additional $2 for a scoop of their super creamy Signature Guacamole — you deserve it after all that hard work.

SaladStop! (One George Street)
Drop everything you’re doing and spend all of two minutes deciding what goes into your failproof DIY salad lunch ($9.90). There are over 10 toppings to choose from — think warm baked mushrooms, beetroot and lentils. You can even jazz up your base and swap out boring romaine lettuce for the snazzier option of dark and leafy kale for an additional $2.
