Got a hankering for salads?

Hoodline crunched the numbers to find the best affordable salad hot spots in Milwaukee, using both Yelp data and our own secret sauce to produce a ranked list of the best spots to fulfill your urges.

1. Zoup!

Topping the list is a member of the chain Zoup!. Located at 1433 N. Jefferson St. in Lower East Side, the spot to score salads, soups and sandwiches is the highest-rated low-priced salad spot in Milwaukee, boasting four stars out of 54 reviews on Yelp.

The site can tell you a thing or two more about Zoup!.

"As former spice merchants, we learned how to use seasonings from around the world to create unique and crave-worthy flavors," per the history section of the business's Yelp profile. "With kitchen-door access to hundreds of restaurants, we soon realized that really good soup was hard to find. So, we set out to transform the world of soup."

Furthermore, we found this about the business's signature items: "At Zoup!, we offer a wide variety of daily soups, including recipes that are low fat, made with gluten-free ingredients, vegetarian, dairy-free and spicy — each served with a big hunk of freshly baked bread," it writes on Yelp in the section about specialties. "Our menu also features a distinctive array of made-to-order salads, sandwiches and bowls. Customer top picks include our lobster bisque and chicken potpie soups, but you can find your own favorite by sampling our soups before you order."

2. Blaze Fast-Fire'd Pizza

Next up is Cambridge Heights's Blaze Fast-Fire'd Pizza, situated at 2907 Oakland Ave. It's a member of the national chain. With four stars out of 26 reviews on Yelp, the fast food spot, which offers salads and pizza, has proven to be a local favorite for those looking for an affordable option.

The spot has "a core belief that food free from artificial colors, flavors, preservatives and sweeteners simply tastes better," according to the website.

3. Colour Palate

Juneau Town's Colour Palate, located at 789 N. Water St., is another top choice, with Yelpers giving the low-priced spot to score salads and soups four stars out of 27 reviews.

We turned there for an overview of Colour Palate.

"Feeding your day with inspiration — salads, soups and bread is what we do," the business says in the history section of its Yelp profile.

Regarding signature items, "Hand-crafted salads, small batch dressings, soups for the soul, gluten-free options, vegan options, vegetarian options, alternative proteins, add steak or chicken to any salad, dine-in, carry out, delivery and on-line ordering," it notes on Yelp in the section about specialties.
