By Maria Wilson January 5, 2024January 4, 2024

It’s time to put away the Roses.

If you’ve resolved to eat a bit healthier in the new year, then we have your back. Here are some of the tastiest meat-free salads you can get in Cork right now.

Sonny Deli’s Salad Box

Prepare your taste buds as the little gem that is Sonny’s Deli on Albert Road reopens on January 8th. Their Salad Box is an ensemble of winter tabbouleh, beetroot and celeriac slaw, and broccoli in mustard dressing. Bursting with flavour and freshness, these salads are a hot commodity, so order online or get there early before they vanish.
