If you search salad near me in Miami Beach, the first decision is not simply where to find greens. It is whether you want a built-to-order bowl near the southern tip of the beach, a dietitian-led format in Sunset Harbour, a cheaper customisable lunch, or an açaí bowl and smoothie after the sand. Pura Vida is the clearest starting point because its current menu explicitly includes Salads and Bowls, quinoa and rice bowls, Açaí Bowls and a published Fall Farro salad. The other three options spread the choice across South of Fifth, Sunset Harbour and Flamingo Park, with prices ranging from $8.10 for a Brazilian Açaí Bowl to $26.95 for grilled salmon.
Ask Karpo in the app which Miami Beach salad stop fits your timing, budget and starting point. You can also ask for the best order of stops before leaving, including the two close Sunset Harbour addresses.
Pura Vida, South of Fifth — builds açaí bowls and grain salads
At 110 Washington Ave #2, Pura Vida is the most direct answer to a Miami Beach search for salad near me if you want a proper fast-casual meal rather than just a juice. The all-day wellness café serves salads, grain-based bowls, açaí bowls, smoothies, juices, coffee and breakfast. Its current menu explicitly lists Açaí Bowls and Salads and Bowls, including quinoa and rice bowls, while the published Fall Farro salad gives the grain-salad angle a concrete basis. The room is described as breezy and light-filled, with warm wood accents, greenery and comfortable seating, inside the Art Deco District.
Pura Vida is open Sunday through Saturday from 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM, so it works for breakfast, a school-day lunch, an early dinner or an order after the beach. A Summer Chicken Bowl is listed at $23.90, while current ordering listings put bowls at roughly $20 to $31. The South Beach shop supports order-ahead pickup through the Pura Vida app. For a large pickup order or dietary restrictions, the location page asks customers to call ahead. It suits you best when you want a substantial bowl with a clear pickup plan and a central South of Fifth address.
Avo Miami, Sunset Harbour — made-to-order salads with a dietitian-led feel
Avo Miami at 1834 Bay Rd in Sunset Harbour is the alternative for a more ingredient-conscious, made-to-order lunch. The casual healthy restaurant serves composed salads, customisable protein bowls, smoothies, juices, matcha and all-day breakfast. It has a bohemian neighbourhood-café feel, with an open kitchen, a cosy outdoor patio and a strongly green visual identity. Avo is walk-in only rather than reservation-based, but it recommends weekday visits for shorter waits. There is also a pet-friendly patio and an open-kitchen pickup option through its own app, useful when your lunch window is fixed.
The restaurant is open Monday through Sunday from 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM, giving it the latest closing time among these four options. A Beet Salad is $16.95, an Organic Grilled Chicken Breast Bowl is $21.95 and a Grilled Salmon Bowl is $26.95. Choose Avo when the protein matters as much as the greens, when you want breakfast or matcha alongside lunch, or when you are already in Sunset Harbour. For a quieter visit, use the weekday advice rather than arriving at the busiest part of the day and hoping for a fast walk-in.
Carrot Express, Sunset Harbour — the customisable and lower-cost salad stop
Carrot Express at 1828 Bay Rd is the more value-oriented option, and it sits nearly next door to Avo Miami in Sunset Harbour. This quick-service healthy-food café offers several greens-based salads, protein additions, bowls, wraps, juices, smoothies and breakfast. The outpost has communal counters, cosy booths, two-top tables and an outdoor patio shaded by large orange umbrellas and greenery. It does not take reservations. Its ordering system supports scheduled pickup or delivery, which makes it practical when you need to organise a school-day lunch rather than queue without a plan.
Carrot Express is open every day from 7:00 AM to 8:45 PM. Listed prices include $14.99 for the Green Goddess salad, $16.99 for the Mediterranean Herb salad and $17.99 for the Greek Salad. That makes it the clearest choice here if you want a greens-based meal below Pura Vida or Avo pricing, while still keeping room for a wrap or bowl instead. Go to Carrot Express for flexibility and a defined pickup time; choose Avo instead if you want a more dietitian-led format or a later closing time.
Under the Mango Tree, Flamingo Park / South Beach — beachside açaí bowls and light food
Under the Mango Tree at 737 5th Street is the smallest and most beach-oriented answer to salad near me in this group. It is a compact juice bar and café serving smoothies, juices, açaí bowls, salads, vegetarian dishes and light breakfast or lunch. The atmosphere is down to earth and welcoming, built around the idea of healthy smoothies, tea and food close to the sand. This is less a full lunch room than a quick stop for something plant-forward, particularly if your plan already includes the beach or a walk through Flamingo Park.
The hours are Monday through Friday 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, Saturday 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM and Sunday 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. A Brazilian Açaí Bowl is $8.10 and a Superfood Bowl is $15.00. Sunday is the shortest service day, so this is better suited to breakfast, a post-beach smoothie or an early lunch than late dinner. Choose it when price, portability and proximity to the sand matter more than a large grain bowl or an evening meal.
How to choose
For the broadest answer to the search, start with Pura Vida: its menu covers salads, quinoa and rice bowls, açaí bowls and the published Fall Farro salad, and its 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM schedule covers most school-day routines. Avo is the stronger pick when you want a made-to-order salad or a named protein bowl, with the latest closing time and a weekday strategy for shorter waits. Carrot Express is the practical budget choice, especially if scheduled pickup matters. Under the Mango Tree is the least formal and the cheapest, but its earlier closing times make it a breakfast or early-lunch stop rather than an evening fallback.
The geography should shape the plan. Pura Vida at 110 Washington Avenue and Under the Mango Tree at 737 Fifth Street are both in the southern part of Miami Beach and work by walking, bike or a short rideshare. Avo at 1834 Bay Road and Carrot Express at 1828 Bay Road are close enough in Sunset Harbour to compare on foot. Allow extra time for street parking and weekend beach traffic around Washington Avenue, Fifth Street and Bay Road. If you are collecting a large Pura Vida order, call ahead; if you are comparing the Sunset Harbour options, avoid moving the car between two addresses that are nearly adjacent.
One correction before you search
Older Miami food guides may still direct you to Carrot Express on Alton Road. The currently orderable Miami Beach location in this guide is 1828 Bay Road in Sunset Harbour. That address puts it close to Avo Miami at 1834 Bay Road, so the useful comparison is now between two neighbouring Sunset Harbour stops rather than an Alton Road detour. Check the address before setting off, particularly if you are planning a school-day pickup or relying on a short rideshare.

Ask Karpo first
Before leaving, ask Karpo in the app to compare Pura Vida, Avo Miami, Carrot Express and Under the Mango Tree for your preferred meal, budget and arrival time. Ask it to put the stops in the right order from your starting point, allow extra time for street parking and weekend beach traffic, and check whether a large Pura Vida pickup should be arranged ahead by phone. For Sunset Harbour, compare the Avo and Carrot Express addresses on foot rather than treating them as separate drives.
