How many calories are in a Chipotle salad?
The salad base itself is nearly free — romaine adds just 5 calories — so like the bowl, your total is entirely your fillings. The item that surprises people is the chipotle-honey vinaigrette: 220 calories and 16g of fat, quietly heavier than a full portion of steak. You'll find it in the Extras section above so it's never invisible in your total.
Done right, the salad is the leanest format on the menu: chicken, fajita veggies, tomato salsa and a squeeze of lime is about 230 calories with 33g protein. Add cheese, guac and the vinaigrette and the same salad becomes 790 — the calculator exists precisely so that difference never sneaks up on you.
