Zaxbys salads are called Zalads, and there are four of them on the 2026 menu. Each one comes topped with grilled chicken, fried chicken or no chicken at all, and the dressing is counted separately, so the topping and dressing you pick change the calories more than the salad itself.

The Zaxbys salad menu: all four Zalads compared
All four salads side by side. The calorie range covers the garden, grilled and fried versions.
| Item | Calories | Options | Allergens | Example price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| House Zalad | 410–660 | 3 | Milk, Egg, Wheat, Soy, MSG, Gluten | $9.69 |
| Cobb Zalad | 510–760 | 3 | Milk, Egg, Wheat, Soy, MSG, Gluten | $9.99 |
| Asian Zensation Zalad | 390–640 | 3 | Milk, Egg, Wheat, Soy, Sesame, MSG, Gluten | $10.99 |
| Blue Zalad | 370–680 | 3 | Milk, Egg, Wheat, Soy, MSG, Gluten | $9.99 |
In every Zalad, the fried chicken version has the most calories and the garden version has the fewest. Grilled sits in the middle, so it is the usual pick if you want chicken and a lighter meal.
Zaxbys salad calories by Zalad
Calories for a salad from Zaxbys depend on two choices: the chicken topping and the dressing. The table below shows every Zalad and topping from the official guide, before dressing. The lightest bowl is the Blue Zalad with no chicken at 370 calories; the heaviest is the fried Cobb Zalad at 760.
Dressing is a separate line in the guide. A packet ranges from 30 calories for Lite Vinaigrette to 140 for Blue Cheese, so add it before you compare. You can also total a full Zalad meal in the nutrition chart.
| Item | Calories | Options | Allergens | Example price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| House Zalad | 410–660 | 3 | Milk, Egg, Wheat, Soy, MSG, Gluten | $9.69 |
| Cobb Zalad | 510–760 | 3 | Milk, Egg, Wheat, Soy, MSG, Gluten | $9.99 |
| Asian Zensation Zalad | 390–640 | 3 | Milk, Egg, Wheat, Soy, Sesame, MSG, Gluten | $10.99 |
| Blue Zalad | 370–680 | 3 | Milk, Egg, Wheat, Soy, MSG, Gluten | $9.99 |
Zaxbys grilled chicken salad, fried or garden
Here is how the three versions play out for the House Zalad, as an example. The same pattern holds for the others.
| Option | Calories | Protein | Sodium | Allergens |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Grilled | 560 | 48 g | 1,600 mg | Milk, Wheat, Soy, Gluten |
| Fried | 660 | 44 g | 1,920 mg | Milk, Egg, Wheat, Soy, MSG, Gluten |
| Garden | 410 | 17 g | 700 mg | Milk, Wheat, Soy, Gluten |
If you are watching sodium or calories, grilled is the easy swap. If you avoid wheat, look closely at the fried versions in the allergen menu, because breading and toppings change the allergen list.
Zaxbys salad dressings
Zaxbys offers five dressings. They range from very light to rich, and they carry their own allergens, so it is worth choosing on purpose rather than taking the default.
- Lite Vinaigrette Dressing: Zalad dressing packet. 30 calories; allergens: none listed; example price $0.25.
- Citrus Vinaigrette Dressing: Zalad dressing packet. 110 calories; allergens: wheat, soy, sesame, gluten; example price $0.25.
- Honey Mustard Dressing: Zalad dressing packet. 110 calories; allergens: egg; example price $0.25.
- Ranch Dressing: Zalad dressing packet. 120 calories; allergens: milk, egg, msg; example price $0.25.
- Blue Cheese Dressing: Zalad dressing packet. 140 calories; allergens: milk, egg; example price $0.25.
Lite Vinaigrette is the lightest at 30 calories per packet. Blue Cheese is the richest at 140. The Citrus Vinaigrette lists Wheat, Soy, Sesame, Gluten, which matters if you avoid sesame.

Zaxbys salads prices and ordering
Prices shown here are example prices only. Every Zaxbys sets its own prices, so the real number depends on the restaurant you pick. To see the price at your store and place an order, use the official Zaxbys app or zaxbys.com.
Does Zaxbys have a chicken salad?
If you are looking for a Zaxbys chicken salad sandwich or a scoop of mayo-based chicken salad, it is not on the menu: the November 2025 official guide lists no chicken salad item. What Zaxbys does offer is a salad with chicken on top. Order any Zalad grilled for a lighter bowl, or fried if you want the same breading as the Chicken Fingerz.
For the closest thing to a grilled chicken salad, the grilled House Zalad (560 calories before dressing) and the grilled Asian Zensation Zalad (530) are the usual picks. See each one on its own page: House Zalad, Cobb Zalad, Asian Zensation Zalad and Blue Zalad.
