Crisp Salad Company wants Greenville Avenue to eat its vegetables
A salad and wrap concept called Crisp Salad Company will open this fall in Dallas' most surprising foodie neighborhood: Lower Greenville. Crisp Salad Company – can we call it Crisp? or, at the very least, Crisp Salad – will open at 2020 Greenville Ave., in what used to be a bar called Hotel Capri. It's located in a prime position, angled across from Trader Joe's and next-door to Teppo.
According to a release, the concept has the goal of feeding the desire for a healthy restaurant alternative by introducing a hybrid concept that combines the build-your-own-salad or wrap experience with a tastefully designed menu and a new, freshness-inspired touch.
The menu will feature all the things we've come to expect to read about restaurants: seasonal, local and organic, and animal products described as "proteins."
Sounds delicious.
As the bare-bones name implies, Crisp Salad Company will be all about respect for the salad – not as an appetizer, not as a warm-up, but as an expertly chopped or deliciously wrapped completely independent and self-sustaining meal. No more second-rate status for the salad.

The release says that Dallas' dining scene is "starved" for healthy options. Therefore, its dessert option consists of mini cupcakes by That’s Sweet, a Dallas boutique bakery. If you can't dream up your own salad or wrap, you can choose one of the pre-conceived options.
The idea of the restaurant came from co-founder Chris Ferrari, who saw a similar concept in New York. Co-owner Blaine Duhe, who was a trainer for Raising Cane's, will run the Dallas store. They plan to open the Greenville Avenue location by November 1 and a second location in Dallas within about a year.
