The offerings on CPK’s Small Cravings menu run the gamut from healthy to hefty. On the healthy end, this snack menu also boasts several snack-sized salads.

Packed with good-for-you asparagus, arugula, and sun-dried tomatoes, it’s an easy way to score a serving of veggies. Honorable mention goes to the 280-calorie Wedge Salad.
