Salad — calories at a glance

Ordering a salad feels like the low-calorie move, but the menu's salads are only as light as their toppings. The greens themselves are nearly free — under 20 calories for a full serving of supergreens — while dressing, cheese, sour cream and guacamole can quietly stack 700 calories on top. Build yours above and see exactly where the calories are coming from.

What moves the numbers

  • The salad base (supergreens or romaine) costs almost nothing calorically — every meaningful number comes from what you put on it.
  • Chipotle-honey vinaigrette is the most concentrated topping per serving — sweetened dressings add up faster than salsas.
  • Chicken or steak keeps the salad high-protein and lean; carnitas and barbacoa roughly double the fat contribution.
  • Two full servings of toppings (cheese + sour cream + guac) can exceed the calorie count of a modest burrito.

Salad FAQ

How many calories are in a salad?

A bare chicken salad with salsa is around 420 calories. The same salad with cheese, sour cream, guacamole and vinaigrette climbs past 1,000. Build yours above.

What's the healthiest salad build?

Supergreens base, chicken or steak, fajita vegetables, fresh tomato salsa, and either guacamole or vinaigrette — not both. That keeps you near 600 calories with 40+ g of protein.

Is the vinaigrette or guacamole better?

Guacamole has more calories but brings fiber and healthy fats; the vinaigrette is lighter per serving but mostly oil and sugar. Pick one, not both.
