Chopt Creative Salad Co. has been selling made-to-order salads since long before that was common practice. Founded in 2001 by Tony Shure and Colin McCabe, the New York City-based fast-casual concept has been chopping vegetables, topping them with a wide variety of proteins, and tossing them with dressings for decades.

“And you’ve got to get some crunch in the salad,” said Nick Marsh, CEO of Founders Table Restaurant Group, which owns burrito concept Dos Toros as well as Chopt, adding that, besides crunchy mix-ins, the fast-casual salad company has developed some 250 dressings.
