Salads have a reputation of being healthy, but at restaurants, you never know what you’re going to get, from cheap refined oils which can increase your risk of obesity according to a 2017 study published in the journal Missouri Medicine, to added sugars, or even just an unexpected amount of calories.
If you’re looking for a healthy salad choice, you can feel confident ordering the Asian Chicken Salad from the Cheesecake Factory’s SkinnyLicious line. With less than 600 calories and a whopping 43 grams of protein, and nearly half of your fiber requirement, the Asian Chicken Salad is a perfectly acceptable choice for lunch or dinner.
According to the Cheesecake Factory menu, you will be served a wholesome plate of grilled chicken, romaine, carrots, bean sprouts, green onions, cilantro, rice noodles, wontons, almonds and sesame seeds, with the SkinnyLicious® sesame-soy dressing. Need to lower the fat and salt content? Ask for the dressing on the side, and only use part of it, and consider skipping the wontons.
