1905 Salad · Tampa
Iceberg lettuce, julienned ham, Swiss cheese, grated Romano, pimento-stuffed olives, tomato and Worcestershire-and-garlic dressing. The patio fills first.
The 1905 Salad was created at the Columbia Restaurant in Ybor City by maitre d' Tony Noriega in 1934, named for the restaurant's 1905 founding year. The salad became the Columbia's signature dish over five Gonzmart family generations and is now served at all six Florida Columbia locations. Tampa Magazine and the Tampa Bay Times rank it as the city's most-served signature plate. The Columbia keeps the dressing recipe secret and trains waitstaff to toss tableside in a chilled wood bowl.
