Chick-fil-A salad menu overview
| Salad | Est. price (with grilled chicken) | Calories (grilled) |
|---|---|---|
| Cobb Salad | $9.99 – $11.49 | ~520 cal |
| Spicy Southwest Salad | $9.99 – $11.49 | ~450 cal |
| Market Salad | $8.99 – $9.99 | ~550 cal |
| Grilled Cool Wrap | $7.99 – $8.99 | ~350 cal |
Prices vary by location. Crispy chicken adds roughly 120–180 calories vs grilled.
#1 — Spicy Southwest Salad (best overall)
Black beans, roasted corn, poblano peppers, tortilla strips, and cheese with grilled filet. The best balance of flavor and protein without the heaviness of the Cobb.
Tip: Use half the dressing packet to cut 100+ calories.
#2 — Market Salad (best for variety)
Seasonal fruit (apples, strawberries, blueberries), grilled chicken, and a mix of greens with nuts. Slightly sweeter profile — great in spring and summer.
#3 — Cobb Salad (most filling)
Bacon, hard-boiled egg, cheese, and chicken on a bed of greens. The highest-protein salad on the menu when you keep the egg and bacon.
#4 — Grilled Cool Wrap (best portable option)
Not a bowl salad but counts as a lighter entree — grilled chicken, cheese, and greens in a flaxseed flatbread. Easiest to eat in the car.
Dressings matter
Dressings can add 200–400 calories. Lighter picks:
- Light Balsamic Vinaigrette — lowest calorie option
- Fat-Free Honey Mustard
- Avocado Lime Ranch — creamy but higher cal — see our Avocado Lime Ranch guide
Ask for dressing on the side and use half the packet.
Healthy ordering tips
- Always choose grilled chicken over crispy — saves 120+ cal
- Skip or halve the tortilla strips on Southwest salad
- Add a Kale Crunch Side instead of fries
- Pair with unsweet tea (0 cal)
