What to Order at Chopt for High Cholesterol

Chopt is greens-first, which is exactly what your heart wants — the work is steering around the cheese, the crispy toppings, and the creamy "destination" dressings that can quietly load up saturated fat and sodium.

What to look for at Chopt

Watch the cheese, bacon, crispy pita/wontons/tortilla strips, and creamy dressings. Lean on greens + a grain or beans, grilled chicken or falafel, and a vinaigrette.

Heart-smart picks

• A greens base with grilled chicken or falafel and beans or a grain for fiber.

• Load the fresh vegetables — cucumber, tomato, peppers, carrots.

• A vinaigrette or citrus-based dressing, on the side, used lightly.

• Avocado for good fats instead of cheese or crispy toppings.

Solid runners-up

• A grain bowl version with grilled protein and roasted veg.

• A build-your-own salad, dressing on the side, no cheese.

What to skip

• Cheese + crispy toppings (pita chips, wontons, tortilla strips).

• Creamy/ranch/caesar-style dressings poured on — most of the fat and sodium lives here.

• Bacon as an add-on.
