What Comes in a Chipotle Salad?

A Chipotle salad starts with a leafy base rather than the large flour tortilla used for a burrito.

You can then customize your salad with available choices such as:

Chicken
Steak
Beef Barbacoa
Carnitas
Sofritas
Pollo Asado, while available
Veggie
Black beans
Pinto beans
Fajita veggies
Fresh tomato salsa
Roasted chili-corn salsa
Tomatillo-green chili salsa
Tomatillo-red chili salsa
Cheese
Sour cream
Guacamole
Queso Blanco

Chipotle also offers its Chipotle-Honey Vinaigrette as a salad dressing.

For a closer look at individual components, see our Chipotle Ingredients Guide.

Chicken Salad

A Chicken Salad typically costs about $10.70 before premium extras.

Chicken is one of the most straightforward protein choices for a salad. You can combine it with beans, fajita veggies, salsa, cheese, sour cream, guacamole, or other available toppings.

The final total depends on your restaurant and any paid extras you select.

If you are comparing proteins, our Chipotle Chicken vs Steak guide covers the differences separately.

Steak Salad

A Steak Salad typically costs about $12.25.

Steak usually sits in a higher price tier than Chicken, Sofritas, or Veggie.

You can still customize the rest of the salad, so the final nutrition and price depend on more than the protein alone.

Barbacoa Salad

A Barbacoa Salad typically costs around $12.25 before premium extras.

Barbacoa is seasoned shredded beef and generally sits in the same higher price range as Steak.

Add your preferred beans, vegetables, salsa, and toppings to complete the salad.

Carnitas Salad

A Carnitas Salad typically costs about $11.85.

Carnitas is Chipotle’s pork option. Its typical price generally falls between Chicken and the higher-priced Steak or Barbacoa choices.

Exact restaurant pricing can vary.

Sofritas Salad

A Sofritas Salad typically costs around $10.20.

Sofritas is Chipotle’s plant-based protein. It can be combined with Supergreens, beans, fajita veggies, salsa, and other compatible toppings.

For broader meat-free ordering information, see our Chipotle Vegetarian Menu and Chipotle Vegan Options.

Veggie Salad

A Veggie Salad typically costs about $10.20.

You can build it around Supergreens, beans, fajita veggies, salsa, and other available ingredients without selecting a meat protein.

Under Chipotle’s current menu structure, guacamole is included with a Veggie entrée.

That is useful to know when comparing value because guacamole can carry an additional charge with some meat-based entrées.

Pollo Asado Salad

Pollo Asado returned to Chipotle in 2026 as a limited-time protein.

A Pollo Asado Salad typically costs around $11.75, although pricing and availability depend on the restaurant.

Because Pollo Asado is a limited-time menu item, check your selected location before planning your order around it.

What Is Chipotle’s Supergreens Salad Mix?

Chipotle uses Supergreens Salad Mix as the base for its salads.

The mix provides the leafy foundation for the meal before protein, beans, vegetables, salsa, and toppings are added.

According to Chipotle’s nutrition information, a standard 3-ounce serving of Supergreens Salad Mix contains only 15 calories.

That does not mean a complete Chipotle salad contains only a small number of calories. Your protein, dressing, cheese, sour cream, guacamole, queso, beans, and other ingredients determine the final total.

For complete calorie information, use our Chipotle Calories Guide.

What Dressing Does Chipotle Use on Salads?

Chipotle offers Chipotle-Honey Vinaigrette.

It has a sweet, tangy, and slightly smoky flavor and is commonly paired with Chipotle salads.

According to Chipotle’s nutrition information, a standard 2-fluid-ounce serving contains 220 calories.

The dressing therefore matters when calculating the nutrition of your complete meal.

If you want to calculate your exact build, use our Chipotle Calorie Calculator.

Does Chipotle-Honey Vinaigrette Come With Every Salad?

The vinaigrette is associated with Chipotle’s salad entrée, but availability and how it is presented in the ordering flow can vary.

If you specifically want the dressing, check that it appears with your order before checkout.

You can also skip it if you prefer your salad without dressing.

What Costs Extra on a Chipotle Salad?

Your protein helps determine the base price, but some additions can increase the total.

Depending on the build and restaurant, extra charges may apply for:

Guacamole on eligible meat entrées
Queso Blanco
Extra protein
Additional premium ingredients
Chips
Sides
Drinks
Delivery charges

If you plan to add chips, guacamole, queso, or salsa on the side, see our Chipotle Sides Menu & Prices.

Is Guacamole Free on a Veggie Salad?

Yes, under Chipotle’s current Veggie entrée setup, guacamole is included.

It can cost extra when added to eligible meat-based salads.

This means the Veggie Salad should be compared based on the complete build rather than the base price alone.

If you are deciding between two popular premium toppings, see our Queso vs Guacamole comparison.

How Many Calories Are in a Chipotle Salad?

There is no single calorie total for every Chipotle salad.

The Supergreens base itself is low in calories, but your complete meal changes when you add protein, beans, cheese, sour cream, guacamole, queso, vinaigrette, and other toppings.

For example, Chipotle currently lists its Chipotle-Honey Vinaigrette at 220 calories per standard serving.

That makes it important to calculate the complete meal rather than judging a salad only by its leafy base.

How to Build a Lower-Calorie Chipotle Salad

A salad gives you plenty of control over the ingredients.

If you want to manage calories, consider the entire meal:

Start with the Supergreens base.
Choose your protein.
Add beans or fajita veggies if they fit your meal.
Use salsa for additional flavor.
Check cheese, sour cream, guacamole, and queso before combining several extras.
Include the vinaigrette when calculating the total.
Review the complete meal rather than only the salad base.

For detailed ingredient choices, see our Low-Calorie Chipotle Options.

How to Build a High-Protein Chipotle Salad

Start with your protein choice and build around it.

Chicken, Steak, Barbacoa, Carnitas, Sofritas, and limited-time proteins each have different nutrition profiles.

You can also adjust other ingredients based on your preferred calories, carbs, and fat.

Extra protein can increase the protein total, but it can also raise the price and calories.

See our High-Protein Chipotle Options for individual ingredients or High-Protein Chipotle Orders for complete meal combinations.

Is a Chipotle Salad Keto-Friendly?

A Chipotle salad can be customized around lower-carb ingredients, but not every salad automatically fits the same diet.

Your beans, salsa, dressing, and other toppings can change the final carbohydrate total.

Instead of turning this price guide into a full keto article, use our dedicated Chipotle Keto Menu for ingredient and ordering guidance.

Is a Chipotle Salad Gluten-Free?

A salad does not use the large flour tortilla found in a burrito, but that alone does not answer every gluten-related question.

Ingredients and restaurant cross-contact still matter.

If you need to avoid gluten, see our dedicated Chipotle Gluten-Free Menu and review current allergen information before ordering.

Is a Chipotle Salad Dairy-Free?

It can be customized without obvious dairy-containing toppings such as cheese and sour cream, but dietary requirements need more care than simply choosing the Salad category.

For a complete ingredient-focused guide, see our Chipotle Dairy-Free Options.

For allergy-specific information, use our Chipotle Allergen Menu.

Salad vs Bowl: What’s the Difference?

The biggest difference is the base.

A Chipotle salad starts with the Supergreens Salad Mix. A standard burrito bowl is built around your selected bowl ingredients and does not require the same salad base.

Both can be highly customizable.

If you want a standard bowl instead, see our Chipotle Bowl Menu & Prices.

Can You Customize a Chipotle Salad?

Yes.

You can choose your protein and add available beans, vegetables, salsa, and toppings.

You can also skip ingredients you do not want.

This flexibility means two salads with the same protein can still have very different nutrition profiles.
