All 13 salads with prices and calories
Every salad here is quoted at the size Panera sells it, full and half, from a reading of all 2,239 US cafes. A full salad runs $9.32 to $14.18 and carries 410 to 880 calories; the halves start at $5.53.
A Salad Stuffer is the same salad folded into flatbread instead of served in a bowl, so it can be eaten with one hand. Panera sells 15 of them and the page never mentioned them, though they are one of the things people most often look up about this menu.

A Stuffer is not a smaller portion. A Greek Salad Stuffer is 700 calories against 630 for the same salad in a bowl, and a Caesar Stuffer is 650 against 530, because the flatbread counts towards the total.
These are Panera’s own tags, not our reading of the ingredients. The page used to say the Greek Salad was fully vegan; it is not, and it carries feta.
One salad: the Strawberry Poppyseed Salad, $10.40 for 270 calories, or $6.25 for a half at 140. Its Salad Stuffer is tagged vegan too, at $9.43 and 380 calories.
The Greek Salad and the Strawberry Poppyseed, plus the Greek Salad Stuffer. Every other salad on the main menu comes with chicken as standard.
Green Goddess Chicken Cobb Salad, Fuji Apple Chicken Salad, Greek Salad, Southwest Chicken Ranch Salad, Farmhouse Crunch Salad, Greek Salad with Chicken, Strawberry Poppyseed Chicken Salad. Panera’s own wording, and it does not mean a gluten-free kitchen: the food is made in a shared space. Our gluten conscious guide covers what the tag does and does not cover.
Every salad on the main menu is sold in both sizes. The half is a little over half the price and a little under half the calories, and it is the size a You Pick Two holds.

Typical is the average price across every US cafe that sells the item. The range is the cheapest and the dearest cafe in the country, because Panera franchisees set their own prices. Open an item for the state by state breakdown.
Every figure below comes from the same reading of 2,239 cafes as the table above it.
Panera lists it as the Green Goddess Chicken Cobb Salad. A full one is $13.82 and 580 calories; a half is $8.29 and 290.
It is the salad most people are after when they search for a cobb salad near them, and Panera tags it gluten conscious. Prices and calories for the rest are in the table above.
$12.45 for a full Fuji Apple Chicken Salad at 710 calories, or $7.36 for a half at 350. The Panera Bread Fuji Apple salad is tagged gluten conscious, and the version without chicken is not on the menu: it is sold with chicken only.
It is the heaviest of the chicken salads bar the Southwest, so the half is worth a look if you are pairing it with anything else.
670 calories for a full Caesar Salad with Chicken at $12.42, and 340 for a half at $7.37. Panera flags the full one as high sodium.
A plain Caesar Salad without the chicken is a separate item at 530 calories and $9.32.
The Strawberry Poppyseed Salad is the one Panera tags vegan, and it is vegetarian and gluten conscious with it. It is $10.40 for 270 calories, or $6.25 for a half at 140.
On the main menu the Greek Salad is tagged vegetarian and gluten conscious, but not vegan: it carries feta. Gluten conscious is Panera's own wording and does not mean a gluten-free kitchen, so anyone with coeliac disease should ask the cafe rather than rely on the tag. Our gluten conscious guide covers what it does and does not cover.
A salad served folded inside flatbread rather than in a bowl, so it can be eaten with one hand. Panera sells twelve of them and they run from $8.77 to $12.08.
They are not a smaller portion. A Greek Salad Stuffer is 700 calories against 630 for the same salad in a bowl, and a Caesar Stuffer is 650 against 530, because the flatbread counts.
Of the 13 on the main menu, the Strawberry Poppyseed Chicken Salad at 410 calories. The heaviest is the Shrimply Baja Salad at 880.
Every one of them also comes as a half, which is where the lighter options actually are: halves run from 210 to 440 calories. The lightest thing on the salad menu overall is a half Strawberry Poppyseed at 140.
A half. They start at $5.53 against $9.32 for the cheapest full salad, and a half is what a You Pick Two holds alongside a cup of soup or a half sandwich.
Three half salads also sit on Panera's $4.99 value menu: Fuji Apple Chicken, Ranch Parm BLT and Caesar. The minimum order there is two items.
