I was impressed by the salads at the casual Holt's counter (where the staff serves the salads you choose, I'm not talking about the express pre-packaged salads), on the lower concourse of the Holt Renfrew Centre. The curried chicken with apple, the Middle Eastern salad with chickpeas, the kale/currant/parm/pine nut and the dill/egg/potato salad were all quite good. I like Holt's salads from the concourse level better than any recent take-out salads I've had at Whole Foods or Pusateri's. Prices are roughly the same as what I'd be paying at Whole Foods or Pusateri's.
I also like the splurge $19 salads at Holt's Cafe on the second floor of Holts.
