FAQs
1. Is the Mixed Greens Salad vegan?
Yes, if you order it without cheese and croutons, and pair it with the Oil & Vinegar or White Balsamic Vinaigrette.
2. Can I get the Mixed Greens Salad as a full-sized entrée?
While it is listed as a side, you can request a “Big Sky” version or simply add a protein like salmon or steak to make it a meal.
3. Are the croutons made in-house?
Yes, Longhorn typically prepares their croutons daily using their signature bread, seasoned and baked until crisp.
4. Is there a low-calorie dressing option?
The Raspberry Vinaigrette or the White Balsamic Vinaigrette are generally the lowest-calorie options compared to the creamy dressings.
5. Does the salad contain nuts?
The standard Mixed Greens Salad does not contain nuts; however, the Strawberry & Pecan Salad does. Always alert your server to any nut allergies due to potential cross-contamination.
