Recently I had the pleasure of witnessing a salad spread suitable for the pickiest veggie-only eaters and also for those that consider themselves carnivorous chowhounds. Meet Green To Go, a New Orleans-based mobile food business doing salads justice and delivering to you by bike.
Gia DiLeo and her sister, Stephanie, started this bicycle delivery culinary adventure a couple of weeks ago with the main goal being to provide a healthy option for quick and easy food. One of the things noticed is that sometimes it is hard to find a good salad in New Orleans. Especially difficult to find an eatery offering only salad and in such a variety. They strive to use the freshest ingredients available and most of the goodies are organic and locally sourced. Green To Go encourages all to eat the rainbow, because color in food is good and good for you!
For now, Green To Go will be operating in the Uptown, University area. They roll out on Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays armed with 2 to 3 leafy selections, but will likely also be riding around Audubon Park, the JCC on Jefferson and in between Tulane and Loyola on Freret Street.
Here are some of the staples:
