About Us
Our History
Sonoma Salad Co. was originated 10 years ago in Petaluma under the original name of John Hookers Gourmet Salads. Founded on the basis of pairing a pasta with fine wine as a request for a special wine maker’s dinner, the exceptional response to the salads transformed this simple request into a thriving business.
Hand Made in Small Batches
We hand make all of our salads using only the freshest ingredients and we never add preservatives. Our guiding principals are: use only the freshest, premium ingredients and hand make each salad in small batches to ensure the highest quality and consistency.
We have perfected our cooking process and procedures to ensure we have kept the bold flavors you love. We can guarantee your guests will think you spent the entire day cooking this in your own kitchen.
