Thumbs Up: California Pizza Kitchen Half Roasted Veggie Salad
CPK scores with this vegetable bowl extraordinaire. Thanks to loads of hearty veggies, a half order is generous enough to
keep you satisfied without tipping the scales. Artichoke hearts, asparagus, eggplant, peppers, corn, and sundried tomatoes
add up to more nutrients than we can mention – all for only 300 calories and 396 milligrams of sodium. Sure, diced avocado
and Dijon balsamic vinaigrette provide 20 grams of fat, but it’s mostly the heart-healthy unsaturated kind, so go ahead and
dig in. Top yours with a 90-calorie order of grilled shrimp and score a bonus 25 grams of protein.
Thumbs Down: Full Moroccan-Spiced Chicken Salad
Overflowing with roasted butternut squash, dates, avocados, beets, chopped egg, and cranberries, this bowl looks like a wise
choice. In reality, it could be one of the most fattening salads out there. The reason: Sheer size. When your salad is as
gigantic as this one, it has more of everything like toasted almonds, dried fruit, and Champagne vinaigrette. That translates
to an over-the-top 1,370 calories, 82 grams of fat (12 saturated), and 1,040 milligrams of sodium. For a healthier option,
choose the half salad and ask for the dressing on the side.
