Wholesome Eating

What’s better than a fresh salad with lots of ingredients to give your body the nourishment it needs for a full day experiencing Ponte Vedra. There are a wide variety of options to choose from to get your salad fix. Try McFlamingo, their salad offerings go from basic to truly unique – their signature salads include ingredients like portobello, pumpkin seeds, blueberries, and jicama. You can also “build your own” salad with exactly the mix of greens, toppings, seeds and dressings to get exactly what works for you. At McFlamingo can enjoy the offerings in the dining room, take out, or have your choice delivered to your room.

Maybe you want to pair a great salad with an added dose of protein. An option some might not think of in a beach destination is barbecue and Ponte Vedra has a great one, Valley Smoke.  This highly regarded restaurant can pair your greens with smoked options ranging from chicken, turkey, brisket or pork;  they can also add shrimp or salmon to your salad if that is more to your liking.

Trasca & Co. Eatery is another option to consider. They offer an array of salads, along with pizzas and their own Paninos. The owner has been recognized as the 2017 Female Entrepreneur of the Year. Nona Blue is one additional option to consider. While offering a wide range of lunch and dinner options, they have a mix of salads ranging from an Ahi tuna inspired dish to their Tavern Grilled Chicken option.

Tips From Experts

  • If taking out, use McFlamingo’s online ordering system to place your order – you can have them prepare it immediately or schedule it for a pickup later in the day. Due to its close proximity to Mickler’s Landing Oceanfront Park, bring your takeout order to the beach!
  • McFlamingo doesn’t just do salads, try their range of lentil dishes or a variety of hummus offerings.
  • Valley Smoke is not your traditional barbecue restaurant, its owner and well recognized chef has been operating restaurants in the region for over 25 years, this is one of his newest.
  • As Valley Smoke is positioned along the serene waters of the intercoastal waterway, consider a table on the patio and take in the natural beauty of the area, while enjoying your meal.
  • Valley Smoke also provides an online ordering option if you want to take out your meal and enjoy it in another setting.
