The salad has a mild-to-moderate spicy kick from the marinated grilled chicken and the poblano peppers in the black bean corn salsa. If you prefer a milder taste, you can request regular grilled chicken instead of spicy chicken.

The salad can be gluten-friendly when ordered with grilled spicy or regular grilled chicken and by omitting the tortilla strips (which may share fryers or contain wheat traces). Always check the allergen list if you have celiac disease.

The default dressing is Creamy Salsa Dressing (190 cal). Many guests also enjoy pairing it with Avocado Lime Ranch (310 cal) or Zesty Apple Cider Vinaigrette (230 cal).

To make it keto-friendly, order the salad without the black bean & roasted corn salsa and omit the tortilla strips. With spicy grilled chicken and Avocado Lime Ranch, it provides high healthy fats and less than 7g net carbs.
