Description

Jack in the Box salads offer a quick, fresh, and satisfying meal option for fast-food lovers looking for a healthier choice. This guide breaks down their calories, ingredients, and how to customize them for the best nutrition. Whether you’re aiming for a low-calorie meal, high-protein option, or a balanced diet, this guide will help you make the best choice when ordering at Jack in the Box.

Ingredients

(Ingredients vary depending on the salad option. Below are the common ingredients used in Jack in the Box salads.)

  • Lettuce blend (romaine, iceberg, and spring mix)
  • Grilled chicken breast or crispy chicken strips
  • Shredded cheddar cheese
  • Grape tomatoes
  • Sliced cucumbers
  • Shredded carrots
  • Bacon crumbles (Club Salad only)
  • Tortilla strips (Southwest Chicken Salad only)
  • Croutons (Grilled Chicken Salad only)
  • Dressing options:
    • Ranch (200 calories)
    • Balsamic Vinaigrette (70 calories)
    • Low-Fat Balsamic Dressing (35 calories)
    • Creamy Southwest Dressing (150 calories)

Instructions

  1. Choose your salad – Jack in the Box offers four main salad options: Grilled Chicken Salad, Club Salad, Southwest Chicken Salad, and Side Salad.
  2. Pick your protein – Opt for grilled chicken if you want a low-fat, high-protein meal. Crispy chicken is higher in calories and fat.
  3. Customize your toppings – Skip croutons, bacon, or tortilla strips if you’re watching your calorie intake.
  4. Select the healthiest dressing – Vinaigrettes are lower in calories compared to creamy dressings like Ranch or Southwest. Use only half the packet to reduce fat and sodium.
  5. Pair with a smart side – If you’re still hungry, opt for a Side Salad (20 calories) instead of fries to keep your meal balanced.
  6. Enjoy immediately – Salads taste best fresh, so eat it soon after purchasing to avoid soggy greens.

Notes

  • You can ask for extra veggies (cucumbers, tomatoes, or lettuce) at no extra cost.
  • If you’re on a low-carb diet, remove croutons, tortilla strips, and creamy dressings.
  • For extra protein, ask for double grilled chicken (extra cost applies).

 

  • Want a vegan option? Order a Side Salad without cheese and dressing, and pair it with a vinaigrette.
