About Texas Roadhouse Grilled Chicken Salad
The Grilled Chicken Salad is the entrée salad the menu builds its health halo on: marinated grilled chicken sliced over fresh greens with cheddar, chopped egg, bacon and croutons, $14.49 with your dressing choice, 810 calories as normally dressed. It is the lightest full-dinner salad and the one that actually tastes like the grill it came from.
The honest math: the toppings and ranch carry half the calories, so a vinaigrette-dressed, light-cheese version lands near 500. Order it default and enjoy a genuinely good dinner salad; order it strategically and it becomes the leanest real meal in the building after the plain grilled chicken plate.
