FAQs
Why does a salad have so many calories?
Most of the calories come from the creamy Caesar dressing and the Parmesan cheese. The dressing has a lot of oil and dairy, and a big family portion uses a lot of it.
Can I get the salad without dressing?
Yes. You can ask for the dressing on the side or leave it off completely to lower the calories, fat, and salt.
Is the Caesar Salad gluten-free?
Not as it comes. The croutons contain wheat. If you remove the croutons, the rest is usually gluten-free, but there may still be cross-contamination.
Is the Family Caesar Salad a full meal?
It is meant to be a side dish, but you can make it a meal by adding protein like grilled shrimp or chicken.
Does the dressing have anchovies?
Yes, it likely contains anchovies or fish ingredients, which give Caesar dressing its classic flavor.
