What to Order at Just Salad for High Cholesterol

Just Salad makes a heart-smart lunch easy — it's greens and vegetables by design, with a big menu of lean proteins and lighter dressings. The trick is not undoing it with cheese, crispy toppings, and a heavy creamy dressing.

What to look for at Just Salad

Watch the cheese, bacon, crispy toppings, and creamy dressings for saturated fat and sodium. Lean on greens, a warm grain or beans, grilled chicken or tofu, and a vinaigrette.

Heart-smart picks

• A greens base with grilled chicken, tofu, or falafel, plus beans or a grain for fiber.

• Lots of vegetables — tomato, cucumber, peppers, carrots, broccoli.

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

• Avocado for good fats instead of cheese.

Solid runners-up

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

• Any signature salad ordered without cheese/bacon and dressing on the side.

What to skip

• Cheese + bacon + crispy toppings stacked together.

• Creamy dressings (ranch, caesar, creamy chipotle) poured on.

• Wraps/paninis if you're watching sodium — the salad base is lighter.

Quick tips

Greens, a grain or beans, a grilled protein, all the veg, vinaigrette on the side, avocado over cheese. Reusable bowl optional — heart-smart guaranteed.
