For gluten-free orders, avoid croutons and flour tortillas. Rice and quinoa bases are naturally gluten-free. Note that kitchens are not certified gluten-free — cross-contact is possible.

Sustainability & reusable bowl program

The reusable bowl program: Just Salad's signature sustainability initiative

Just Salad launched its reusable bowl program in 2006 — the same year the chain opened. Guests pay a small one-time fee for a branded reusable bowl. On every return visit with the bowl, the customer receives a free topping added to any order.

The program is one of the most concrete sustainability initiatives in fast-casual dining. It reduces single-use plastic waste, incentivizes repeat visits, and has become a core part of the brand's identity. Just Salad has publicly reported millions of single-use containers prevented through the program.

Beyond the bowl program, Just Salad tracks and discloses the carbon footprint of its menu items in the app — letting customers make ingredient choices with environmental impact in mind.

About Just Salad

Fast-casual salads with a sustainability mission

Just Salad was founded in 2006 in New York City by Nick Kenner and Rob Crespi. The concept was simple: make fresh, customizable salads fast enough for a lunch crowd and good enough to make people want to come back. The reusable bowl program — launched in the brand's first year — became a signature differentiator and a template that other chains have since imitated.

The menu has expanded well beyond simple salads. Grain bowls, warm bowls (a noodle- and rice-based comfort format served warm), wraps, and soups now share the menu with the signature build-your-own salads. The chain has grown from its NYC roots to locations across multiple U.S. states and select international markets.

Just Salad was one of the first restaurant chains to add carbon footprint labeling to its menu — showing the environmental impact of each ingredient directly in the ordering app. It has received recognition for its sustainability efforts from organizations including the James Beard Foundation.
