Build Your Own Salad for a La Jolla Lunch

Let a slow weekend morning roll toward lunch in La Jolla. At Mary's Salads, a bright counter puts fresh ingredients at the center of the meal, with customizable salads and hearty bowls giving you a choice that follows your appetite.

The setting is clean and casual, and meals are prepared quickly. For a health conscious lunch, this is a counter focused on nutritious food that still feels like a substantial meal. Keep the outing relaxed, whether lunch is the main event or a pause between the rest of your plans.

The shop opens daily from 11 AM to 8 PM, including Saturday and Sunday. Aim for the opening stretch after an unhurried morning, rather than treating this as an early breakfast stop.

Find it at 723 Pearl Street. Online ordering offers another way to arrange the meal before heading over. Settle on what you feel like eating, then carry on with the rest of the day.
