Panera Salad Menu With Prices | (2026)

The Panera Salad Menu includes plenty of choices, whether you want salad with chicken, steak, or a meat-free option. Salads are available in half and whole portions, and some can also be used in a Salad Stuffer or paired with soup for a combo meal. This guide brings together the current salad menu, including prices and calorie information.

The Panera Salad Menu includes half and whole sizes, with the half portion usually costing less and containing fewer calories than the full size. Prices generally vary by salad and café, with chicken or steak options often costing more than meat-free versions. Some salads are also available as a Salad Stuffer, packed inside a bread loaf, while larger catering portions can be ordered for groups. A half salad works well with soup or a sandwich, while a whole salad can serve as a more filling meal on its own.

From lighter vegetable-based choices to salads topped with chicken or other hearty ingredients, Panera has several options to choose from. The table below lists the available salads with their half and whole prices and calories, making it easier to compare portion sizes and find one that fits your meal.

Fuji Apple Chicken, Harvest Medley and Harvest Medley Chicken can be ordered without pecans for fewer calories. Farmhouse Crunch and Asian Sesame Chicken can be ordered without almonds the same way.

If you want a salad that feels like a full meal, the Panera Green Goddess Chicken Cobb Salad is a solid option. It brings together chicken, avocado, bacon, egg, and tomatoes with romaine and Green Goddess dressing. The mix of protein and richer toppings makes it more substantial than a basic garden-style salad.

A classic combination of romaine, Parmesan, croutons, and Caesar dressing makes the Panera Caesar Salad one of the simpler choices on the menu. You can order it without meat or add chicken when you want a more filling version. The two options differ in both calories and price.

The Panera Greek Salad leans on bold toppings rather than a heavy dressing, with feta, olives, pepperoncini, and romaine at the center. Its sharp, salty flavors give it a different feel from the milder salads, while adding chicken turns it into a more complete meal.

The Panera Harvest Medley Salad brings a sweet and nutty mix to the menu, combining fresh greens with apples, dried cranberries, and pecans. Chicken can be added when you want more protein. Because the fruit and nuts add extra calories, leaving out the pecans is an easy way to make the salad lighter.

Texture is the main feature of the Panera Farmhouse Crunch Salad, with almonds adding a noticeable crunch to the greens and vegetables. It offers something different from salads built around softer toppings, and the almonds can be left out for those avoiding nuts. This salad can also be ordered as a Salad Stuffer.

For a stronger, more savory flavor, the Panera Southwest Chicken Ranch Salad combines chicken, corn, and a Southwest-style ranch dressing with fresh greens. Its bolder seasoning gives it a more Tex-Mex-inspired feel than Panera’s classic salads and makes it one of the more filling chicken-based choices.

The Fuji Apple Chicken Salad pairs crisp greens with chicken, apples, and pecans for a sweet and savory combination. It has a similar fruit-and-nut feel to the Harvest Medley, but with its own flavor profile.

For something lighter, the Asian Sesame Chicken Salad stands out with sesame ginger dressing and a lower calorie count than the other whole salads listed here.

The Ultimate Garden Steak Salad takes the protein in a different direction by using steak instead of chicken, while the Ranch Parm BLT Salad focuses on bacon, Parmesan, and ranch for a richer, saltier taste. Prices and calories for all four are listed in the table above.

A Salad Stuffer gives a salad a sandwich-style twist by serving it inside a bread loaf. The added bread makes it more filling and also increases the calories compared with the same salad served on its own. Salad Stuffers are available with salads at participating cafés, although specific options can vary by location.

Some older or frequently searched names still show up online, including the Panera Mediterranean Salad, Italian Market Salad, BBQ Chicken Salad, and Santa Fe Chicken Salad. These names do not appear in Panera’s current nutrition guide, so they may have been replaced, renamed, or removed from the regular menu. The Southwest Chicken Ranch Salad is one current option with a similar bold, Southwestern-style profile. Because menus can vary by café, it is worth checking the local menu before assuming an older salad is still available.

Finding a gluten-free salad at Panera requires more than simply leaving out the bread. Greek Salad and Caesar Salad without croutons avoid some obvious wheat ingredients, but Panera does not guarantee that menu items are free from allergen cross-contact. Salads with crunchy toppings, such as Farmhouse Crunch and Asian Sesame Chicken, may also contain wheat-related ingredients. The bread used for a Salad Stuffer adds another source of wheat, so check the ingredient details for your specific café before ordering.

The easiest meat-free salad choice is the Greek Salad without chicken, while other salads can sometimes be customized by leaving out chicken, steak, or bacon. The Green Goddess Cobb normally includes meat and egg, so removing those ingredients changes the dish considerably. Keep in mind that removing the meat does not automatically make a salad vegan, since ingredients such as cheese and dressing may still contain dairy.

For larger gatherings, Panera offers salad catering in portions designed for five or ten people, with options such as Green Goddess Cobb, Ranch Parm BLT, Southwest Chicken Ranch, Strawberry Poppyseed, and Farmhouse Crunch appearing in the current catering nutrition information. Some salads are provided with separate dressing containers, which helps keep the greens fresher until serving. Availability and ordering requirements can vary by café, and orders placed within 24 hours are subject to product and delivery availability.

Think of a salad’s nutrition in three parts: the base, the protein, and the extras. The greens themselves are light. It’s the extras (dressing, cheese, nuts, croutons) that move the numbers most, with dressing usually being the biggest variable. Adding chicken or steak brings the protein that turns it into a full meal. And since a whole portion is roughly double the half, the half fits better in a You Pick Two combo. For exact protein, carb, fat, and sodium figures, Panera’s official nutrition guide has the complete breakdown.

Tips for Ordering Panera Salads

  • Ask for dressing on the side if you’re ordering ahead or getting it delivered, so the greens don’t get soggy.

  • Use the half size for a You Pick Two combo, and the whole size if the salad is your entire meal.

  • Order without nuts through the app if you have an allergy, rather than asking to remove them at the counter.

  • Check the app before visiting if you want a seasonal salad, since not every café carries every option year round.
