Description
Those in the know in the Denver Tech Center area have one destination in mind when they’re looking for a quick salad made with quality ingredients. That’s why there’s always a line at Fourleaf Chopped Salads, which is tucked away in a strip mall off an I-25 frontage road in a below-street-level storefront that you’d think would be easy to miss. But plenty of people manage to find it, and they’re rewarded by a board filled with specialty options and a staff willing to come up with something to the customer’s specification. After reciting the order (including type of lettuce, dressing and whichever many of dozens of toppings you like), the salad is assembled in a plastic container, then dumped onto a large chopping board; using a wicked-looking, two-handled rocking blade, a worker chops all those unruly veggies and meats and cheeses into manageable, bite-sized pieces. Salads here are fast, cheap, healthy and delicious, and somehow the shop manages to get everything done between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. on weekdays.
