Why the Side Caesar Salad Is a Timeless Classic
A timeless classic in a smaller size. The Side Caesar Salad is the perfect balance of crisp romaine lettuce, crunchy croutons, and shaved Parmesan, all tossed in creamy Caesar dressing. It brings bold, traditional flavors in just the right portion, perfect for pairing with any meal.
The Caesar salad endures because its formula is flawless: cold, crisp romaine, a rich and garlicky dressing, salty Parmesan, and croutons for crunch. In side-salad form, you get all of that without committing to a full entree-sized bowl.
Flavor and Ingredient Highlights
The build is the classic: crisp romaine lettuce as the sturdy base, creamy Caesar dressing coating every leaf, shaved Parmesan cheese adding salty depth, and crunchy croutons for texture. The dressing is the star, with its traditional anchovy base giving the savory umami that makes Caesar dressing unmistakable.
The recommended pairings show how well it plays with rich entrees: with Chicken Marsala, the rich flavors pair with crisp Caesar freshness; with the Tuscan-Grilled Sirloin, the bold steak is balanced with creamy Caesar; and with the Classic Red Sangria Pitcher, the smooth wine notes complement the crisp greens. Allergen-wise, it contains dairy (cheese, dressing), egg (Caesar dressing), wheat (croutons), and fish (anchovies in dressing).

Ordering Tips
Add the Side Caesar Salad as a side option when selecting entrees. It is available for app, online, or dine-in orders, and can be customized with extra Parmesan or grilled chicken. Prices vary by location, so check your local menu.
Adding grilled chicken turns it into a more substantial option, while extra Parmesan doubles down on the savory flavor. For the best texture, eat it soon after it arrives, dressed romaine wilts over time.
