Nicole Rossi here. Member/volunteer/social media intern of the Berkeley Student Food Collective. I am a junior at UC Berkeley studying Media Studies and Conservation and Resource Studies. I love food and social media, so the fact that I am the social media intern for this wonderful food collective is more than ideal. Today I’m going to tell you about a new feature of our store: THE SALAD BAR! Yes you heard right, we just opened a salad bar. It’s quick, convenient, healthy, cheap, and oh so yummy. Our salad is sold by the pound, and the opening week special price is only $4.99/lb. Now that’s what I call a great deal! Currently, we’ve got spinach, arugula, sunchokes, crimini mushrooms, shredded beets, shredded carrots, beats, blood oranges, marinated tofu, beats, corn, peas, beans, and feta cheese! What a variety! All of these ingredients are organic, except for the tofu, which is made with organic soybeans.   These are the ingredients we have for the opening week, but the options will change based on seasonality and what we have in the store. Maybe next week we will have walnuts or cranberries or pears or…well you get the point.  The salad bar has only been open for 5 days now, and it is already a big hit. I was working in the store for a couple hours today and witnessed tons of people buying a salad, and LOVING it. I had my first BSFC salad bar experience today, and let me tell you, my taste buds were happy. I filled my container to the brim with every topping, which was a great decision. If you are every feeling hungry and in need of a great salad, please stop by! I promise you won’t be disappointed. After this week the price will move up to $7.49 a pound. That’s still pretty cheap, considering lettuce doesn’t weight much!
