Tucked beside a new-age bookstore, the bright, comfortable space fills with health-conscious diners in the mood for nut burgers, beet-tower salad, salmon crostini, omelet of the day & seared ahi tuna. For a special treat, try an Oasis salad. The Oasis Cafe, burrowed in downtown Salt Lake City, has long been a hub for people who care about what they eat. And the salads here are sophisticated greenery, to say the least. There's the traditional spinach salad made wonderful with Gorgonzola cheese and candied pine nuts. The Mediterranean grilled salad combines Yukon gold potatoes, onions, olives, tomatoes, feta cheese and hummus with various fish or meat. The Imperial features crab cakes and a sticky rice roll with your greens. But, to really impress yourself or others, order the roasted-beet tower topped with arugula and goat cheese. It's "salad elevated."
