The best high-protein order at Just Salad is the Chicken Caesar salad: 37g of protein for 400 calories, or 9.3g of protein per 100 calories, the most efficient item on the current menu.

Chicken is the reason most orders clear 30g, while the meat-free picks land between 13g and 28g.

Why the Just Salad wraps have so much protein
The wraps punch above their weight because of the tortilla. Just Salad's guide lists the HERO Wrap at 170 calories with 15g of protein, so the wrap itself adds protein instead of just carbs. That is why the Spicy Chicken Caesar wrap (51g, 560 calories) beats the Chicken Caesar salad on total protein by 14g for 160 more calories, and why the Buffalo Chicken wrap (50g) and The Clutch Wrap (48g, fall seasonal) both sit near 50g. If you want one order that covers a big chunk of your day, a wrap is the easy pick. For context on how much one meal needs to do, see the 30g protein per meal rule.
Add the dressing before you compare
Because the salad numbers leave dressing out, the real total depends on what you pick. These dressing numbers are for the guide's 1 oz (Light) serving, so a heavier pour adds more.
| Dressing | Calories | Protein |
|---|---|---|
| Creamy Caesar | 140 | 0g |
| Cucumber Tzatziki | 45 | 2g |
| Fresh Lemon | 5 | 0g |
| Red Wine Vinegar | 5 | 0g |
| Balsamic Vinaigrette | 150 | 0g |
| Extra Virgin Olive Oil | 240 | 0g |
A Chicken Caesar with its Creamy Caesar dressing comes to 37g of protein for 540 calories (6.9g per 100 calories). Still a strong order, just not quite the 400-calorie headline. Fresh lemon or red wine vinegar keeps it close to the listed number.
How to build your own high-protein Just Salad
Start with the protein. Roasted chicken is the most efficient protein at Just Salad, 22g for 140 calories. Braised chicken has the most per scoop.
| Ingredient | Calories | Protein | Protein per 100 cal |
|---|---|---|---|
| Roasted Chicken | 140 | 22g | 15.7g |
| Braised Chicken | 220 | 26g | 11.8g |
| Parmesan | 100 | 9g | 9.0g |
| Cage-Free Jammy Egg | 70 | 6g | 8.6g |
| Organic Sesame Tofu | 100 | 7g | 7.0g |
| Romaine (salad base) | 30 | 2g | 6.7g |
| Black Lentils (salad premium) | 160 | 10g | 6.3g |
| Impossible Chicken (Plant-Based) | 140 | 8g | 5.7g |
| Crispy Chicken | 200 | 11g | 5.5g |
A romaine salad with roasted chicken, black lentils and parmesan comes to 43g of protein for 430 calories before dressing. Black lentils are the plant-based move here: 10g of protein per 160-calorie portion.
