CREATE YOUR OWN SALAD

Create Your Own Salad Catering

There’s a world of difference between a standard salad bar and a truly thoughtful, composed salad experience. At NY Susan Kitchen, we don’t think of salads as filler. We treat them as the center of the plate—built from the freshest produce, layered with whole grains, house-roasted vegetables, legumes, handmade dressings, and toppings that add texture, contrast, and satisfaction.

Our create your own salad catering service brings this philosophy to your office or event in a format that’s flexible, beautiful, and nourishing. Whether you’re feeding a team of ten or coordinating a larger event, we design every salad bar to reflect the season, the space, and the flow of your guests. Each component is prepped in-house, arranged with intention, and served in a way that invites ease—not decision fatigue.

This isn’t about overwhelming people with endless bins of chopped toppings. It’s about offering a curated set of ingredients that build into real meals. Every option works in harmony, so no matter what your guests choose, the result feels complete, flavorful, and satisfying.

Seasonal Greens, Thoughtfully Built

We don’t believe in generic lettuce blends or mass-produced produce. Every salad bar begins with the season. That might mean baby kale and mustard greens in spring, romaine and arugula in the height of summer, or shaved cabbage and bitter chicories when the air turns cooler. Each base is balanced and alive—not just green for the sake of being green.

From there, we layer in roasted vegetables, pickled accents, crunchy toppings, and vibrant dressings. Think grilled zucchini, maple-roasted squash, or shaved radish with sea salt. Chickpeas toasted with cumin. Farro with lemon oil. Toasted seeds and spiced nuts. Nothing is random. It all plays together.

Our seasonal salad menus evolve monthly, reflecting what’s coming in from our suppliers and local farms. This is food built with a sense of place and time, not pulled from a warehouse shelf.

Customizing with Care, Not Chaos

Too many build-your-own bars leave guests overwhelmed or underwhelmed. We design our salad stations with structure and intention. Each one comes with a curated set of greens, grains, proteins, vegetables, and dressings that are meant to build meals, not just side dishes.

You won’t find plastic tubs of hard-boiled eggs or dried-out chicken strips. You’ll find grilled tofu marinated in ginger and garlic, or slow-roasted salmon with fennel seeds. You’ll find soft lentils, pickled onions, roasted cauliflower, and ribbons of cucumber tossed in sesame oil. It’s about giving people real flavor, not just more options.

For offices using our corporate lunch services, these stations offer a healthy, energizing break in the week—especially when variety and nourishment are top priorities. And because every ingredient is selected to work together, no guest ends up with a scattered plate. The experience is guided, without being limiting.

Served Your Way: Boxes or Bars

Every team and every space has different needs. Some clients prefer a full salad bar setup with service equipment and a central station. Others need individual packaging for grab-and-go ease. We offer both. Our salad catering can be delivered as a curated buffet or as boxed salads with ingredient combinations chosen in advance—or left to each guest’s discretion with a selection of customizable toppers on the side.

With individual orders, we help you plan ahead so guests receive thoughtful, complete meals without confusion. For buffet-style setups, we guide the station layout to ensure flow, simplicity, and a clear order of service. From presentation trays to warm grains held at temperature, everything is built to serve well and stay fresh until the last guest arrives.

If you’re serving a larger team or looking to include a salad bar alongside other mains, our lunch buffet menu integrates seamlessly with seasonal salads. You’ll have the flexibility to offer a standalone salad experience—or pair it with proteins, soups, or pastas to round out a full, satisfying lunch.

Dressings That Make the Meal

We make every dressing in-house. That’s not just a quality standard—it’s part of how we balance each bowl. A dressing isn’t just a topping. It carries acidity, body, and structure. It pulls the bowl together. That’s why ours are built from real ingredients—no thickeners, no mystery oils, and nothing shelf-stable.

Depending on the menu, you might find tahini with lemon and garlic, or sherry vinegar with shallot and mustard. Maybe a green goddess with sorrel, or a bright carrot ginger. Each one is made fresh, with ingredients that complement the produce in season. You won’t find ten versions. Just the right ones.

We also adjust for dietary needs without removing flavor. We offer dressings that are vegan, nut-free, and gluten-free, but still full of life. When paired with the right vegetables and grains, these sauces become the soul of the bowl—quiet, but essential. And if you’re looking to balance out a lighter salad menu with something warming, our soup offerings pair naturally with most seasonal builds.

Fresh, Flexible, and Flavor-Driven

At its core, our create your own salad catering isn’t just about options. It’s about care. Each component is prepped by hand. Each station is arranged with purpose. Each bowl or box reflects the kind of meal we’d want to eat ourselves—simple, beautiful, and nourishing without trying too hard.

This format works especially well for wellness events, midday office lunches, and environments where flexibility matters. Guests get what they need, without feeling like they’re building their own meal from scratch. There’s comfort in being offered a set of ingredients that already belong together—and still being able to make the final plate your own.

If you’re exploring menus for the first time or want to sample our current seasonal selections, our tasting service gives you a preview of what a salad station can look and feel like in your space. It’s a low-pressure way to explore flavor and flow before you scale up. For more options to peak your interest, please visit our Corporate Corporate Menu
