Just Salad announced the launch of a limited-time, custom vegan menu item created in partnership with Wellness Educator & Entrepreneur, Mona Vand. The salad, “Mona’s Dreamy Caesar,” features plant-based ingredients carefully selected by Mona to reduce inflammation, support gut health, and boost energy while providing essential nutrients. This collaboration brings together Mona’s passion for clean, health-conscious eating with Just Salad’s commitment to providing fresh and sustainable options for its customers.

“I believe that food is a powerful medicine, and I live by that philosophy every day,” says Mona Vand. “My goal is to help people on their wellness journeys using my background and education as a former pharmacist, and I’m thrilled to partner with Just Salad to help offer their consumers a plant-forward nutritious option. This salad is exactly the way I like to eat – it incorporates a variety of healthy ingredients that all add their own unique nutritional benefits, while being extremely clean and packed with flavor and texture.”
