MSP: Good salad options near airport-Mac/Groveland area?

I'm arranging a workshop locally for an international presenter.

I would like to take him to a nice restaurant for the two dinners he'll be here for, but not $$$$.

He's not a fussy person. He says he eats light the night before a presentation, so a restaurant with a few good salad options would be nice. To give you an idea of what I mean, I have had nice salads at Prima a couple years ago when I was last there, and they have nice enough ambience, but they are WAY TOO crowded.

Thanks for your nominations.

      How about Cafe 128 (across the street from U of St. Thomas on Cleveland) or Jay's Cafe (a little out of the way from your specified area: on Raymond by University)?

        If you're eating light/sticking with salads, Heartland will be just as inexpensive as anywhere else, especially on the Wine Bar side.

          The salads at Punch are excellent as well.

          Shish has some very good salads. I think I even asked them to leave out feta and pepperoncini and sub more raw veggies, since I"m watching my sodium...and they very nicely gave me a beautiful large salad.
