FAQs
❓ Can I add protein to the Classic Caesar Salad?
Yes! You can add grilled chicken, grilled shrimp, sautéed shrimp, or other seafood to turn it into a full meal.
❓ Is the Caesar dressing served on the side?
It’s usually tossed with the dressing, but you can always ask for the dressing on the side to control calories and fat.
❓ Does the Classic Caesar Salad come with Cheddar Bay Biscuits?
No. Side salads and entrée salads normally don’t include the biscuits. Biscuits are served with main entrées instead.
❓ Is the Caesar dressing low-fat or sugar-free?
No, traditional Caesar dressing is higher in fat because it contains oil, egg yolks, and cheese. You can request a different dressing if you want a lighter option.
❓ Are the croutons homemade, and can I remove them?
Crouton preparation may vary by location, but yes—you can ask for the salad without croutons if you’re avoiding wheat or cutting carbs.
