Most prestigious salads to eat ranking

Clearly the most pertinent and useful list on this site.  Note this is a weekday salad to be eaten at your desk, not those fancy $20 salads at a sit down restaurant.  My humble opinion:

1. Sweetgreen - Some say it's played out, I say try to find a better alternative (you can't)

2. Chop't/Just Salad - Very close between these two, although personally I like Just Salad a tad more

3. Whole Foods - A sleeper pick, premium ingredients for premium price

4. Random deli salad - Ingredients just don't taste as fresh and the dressings are always too sweet for my liking, but should have all the variety you need

5. Panera/Cosi - Mall brand salad, eat only if no other salad options are available

6. McDonalds/Insert other fast food chain - Can consider if it's between this and starvation

Honorable mentions:

- For the LA crowd - Erewhon salads are legit!  The price tag is also legit
