Since I started a low carb diet I've been eating salads everyday for lunch. Alonti Deli makes the best chicken caesar salad in the loop. Most places just have plastic containers with salad and a sealed container of dressing. I'm sure you've seen them. Alonti mixes the salad in front of you and throws in the chicken and parmesan cheese and whatever else you want. Plus it's BIG. Best of all, it's the cheapest salad I've seen. The thing I hate about salads is they always seem expensive and I don't feel like I'm getting my money's worth. At Alonti it's only $5 and that includes tax.

Alonti is scattered throughout the loop. The one I go to is in the Bank One building on Jackson across from Union Station. They also make sandwiches and pasta dishes.
