Need Healthy Lunch Places - Santa Clarita
Hi all,
Going to be starting up work again next week in Santa Clarita and looking for some new and healthier places for lunch (salads, etc) . I know it is the land of chains but desperate for an good local spots. They don't have to deliver, we have someone to pick-up. Thanks!

There is a new-ish place called The Urbane Cafe, at the corner of McBean and The Old Road. It's sandwich spot, and has a kind of chain-y feel (what in the SCV doesn't?). They have pretty tasty sandwiches, including several vegetarian options, and you can order you sandwich with a side salad. They also bake the bread in-shouse, in a real over, not the Subway refrigerator-looking thing. They also carry Kettle Chips - certainly not healthy, but better than the standard Doritos.

You're close to the Habit which is on Mc Bean - http://www.habitburger.com Love their BBQ chick salad. Ask for dressings on the side. They're very accommodating. Also can get a scoop of avocado on the side for 1$
Also at Mcbean /Valencia there's a Whole Foods - great salad bar, cheeses, sushi, sammys, soups, etc. -24130 Valencia Blvd http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com and Bristol Farms opened earlier in the year - 23975 Newhall Ranch Road - Better sushi and soups esp. on Friday, their crab chowder -OMG! salad bar here too.
Then the ole' Trader Joe's standby off Cinema Dr. which is a small curved street easily reached either by MM Pkwy or by going down on McBean to Valencia (R) to Cinema - AAA is right where you'll be. You can get a local street map from them. (On Thurs afternoons, you can catch the local farmers market on Lyons in Newhall) -

The best and possibly the healthiest restaurant we have here in Valencia, in my honest opinion, is Maru.
I took the following from their website: "menus are seasonally-inspired and adhere to the freshest and highest quality ingredients, including fresh fish flown overnight from Japan and organic farmers' market produce."I have tried almost every item from their menu, and I can assure you that the above statement is completely true.
They have the best salads, and if you like sushi, you will be very happy.
Read the reviews on Yelp, and you can get an idea. Maru is a Japanese restaurant, but with much more than just Japanese food.They serve an excellent roasted beet salad and a very good prosciutto & walnut salad. I have seen many people picking up their take out during lunch hours.
Look on their website for their lunch menu, and especially their market menu.
