by Lockhart native Jon Michelson, Adam Rubin, and operations manager Jordan Feiner, Leaf truly offers a "different" style of downtown dining gourmet entree salads! And don't think eating healthy means you miss out on good eats. You won't believe the variety of ingredients and dressings at your disposal. Leaf offers "The Big 12," pre-designed salads that include some interesting, fascinating combinations. Try the West Campus, with cucumbers, artichoke hearts, feta cheese, red onion, and olives; the Avocado BLT; the Strawberry Fields; Nicoise; or, of course, the Caesar Chavez. For a hands on experience you can design your own, by choosing your favorite lettuce, adding up to 6 ingredients (from more than 50 options!), and topping it with one of 20 dressings, all house prepared from original recipes, many featuring extra virgin olive oil, and either low fat or fat free. For an added touch you can add chicken, steak, shrimp, tuna, tofu, or Italian meats to any salad for that "protein punch." Check Leaf out today! You'll be impressed by the healthy concept but you'll come back for the great taste and relaxed environment.
