Where to Find the Most Pretentious Salads in Egypt – A SceneEats Guide
Here are Egypt’s most over-styled greens, ranked by sheer audacity.
 
            Salads used to be humble. Lettuce, cucumber, maybe a tomato if you were feeling generous. Fast forward to 2025 and your “light starter” now arrives with its own résumé. Burrata imported from somewhere unpronounceable, figs arranged like a still life, and dressing so cryptic the waiter needs a monologue to explain it.
These salads are no longer background players. They’re the main event: overdressed, overthought, and outrageously self-aware. They come laced with truffle oil, scattered with pomegranate jewels, and crowned with edible petals, all while insisting they’re here for your “clean eating era.”
And yet, you’ll still order them. Because deep down, you too want to feel like the kind of person who can say “I’ll just have the salad”, and make it sound like a lifestyle choice.

                        The Italians may have gifted us pizza and pasta, but their relationship with salads is all about drama. At Italiano, the greens arrive and make you question if you’re hungry or just underdressed.
