A few weeks ago, Main Street added a new, unique addition to its seemingly never-ending list of restaurants. Roots Natural Kitchen, which replaced Yogoberry, offers healthy rice bowl and salad options to its customers. They have already made options on their menu, which is displayed on a chalkboard above the workers' heads or you have the opportunity to create your own green masterpiece! If you haven't gone and tried it out yet, here are some of their special items that you won't want to miss out on.
Kale
For the base of a salad, you can choose between Arcadian mix, kale or spinach. I have yet to get anything but the kale because every time I have gotten it, it has been so delicious! It is always so fresh and crispy, and when it is mixed with the dressing you have selected, it never gets soggy. If you choose to get a rice bowl over a salad, your options are brown rice or Roots rice but you still have the option of adding one of these green, leafy choices.
Pesto Caesar Dressing
There are tons of dressing options when you get to the end of making your bowl/salad like lemon tahini, cilantro lime and basil balsamic. One of the dressings, however, sticks out and that is the pesto caesar dressing. This dressing is filled with flavor and is also super light and doesn't weigh you down after eating and make you feel like a bowling ball. For all you spicy lovers out there, a great part about ordering this is having the option to add Sriracha!
BBQ Tofu
The last portion of ordering at Roots is deciding whether you want chicken, mushrooms or tofu added to your concoction. They offer a unique option, which is tofu smothered in BBQ sauce. It may sound odd, but it is actually incredibly delicious if you are a fan of the tangy flavor. It comes on the already invented "The Southern" rice bowl, which is rice, kale and other yummy sides like roasted broccoli and charred corn. Don't knock it till you try it!
If you haven't stopped by Roots Natural Kitchen on Main Street yet, now's the time. I promise, it won't let you down!
