FAQs About Midwood Smokehouse Fixin’ To Chicken Salad
What’s included in the Fixin’ To Chicken Salad?
The Fixin’ To Chicken Salad is made with a hearty combination of romaine lettuce, pulled barbecue chicken, tomatoes, black beans, red onion, avocado, corn, cilantro, tortilla strips, and chipotle ranch dressing. It’s a flavorful, protein-packed salad with smoky chicken and creamy, crunchy toppings that make it one of Midwood Smokehouse’s most popular entrée salads.
Can I remove ingredients?
Yes, the salad is completely customizable. You can request it without avocado, black beans, chipotle ranch dressing, cilantro, corn, red onions, tomatoes, or tortilla strips. This makes it easy to adjust flavor preferences, reduce calories, or accommodate dietary restrictions.
What dressing does it use?
The standard dressing served with the salad is chipotle ranch, which adds a smoky, lightly spicy, creamy flavor. However, you can substitute it with other Midwood Smokehouse dressings, including balsamic vinaigrette, green goddess, honey mustard, or other available options.
Is the salad gluten-free?
The salad is not fully gluten-free because the tortilla strips contain wheat. If you request the salad without tortilla strips, it becomes mostly gluten-free, though you should still verify dressing ingredients if you have severe gluten sensitivity.
Is it vegetarian?
No, the Fixin’ To Chicken Salad is not vegetarian because it includes pulled barbecue chicken as a main component. Removing the chicken would technically make it vegetarian, but the dish is designed with smoked chicken as the star ingredient.
Can it be made vegan?
It is difficult to make this salad fully vegan because it contains chicken, dairy-based chipotle ranch dressing, and tortilla strips that may contain animal-derived ingredients. To create a vegan version, you would need to remove the chicken, eliminate dairy dressings, choose a vegan dressing like balsamic, and avoid the tortilla strips.
How many calories does it have?
The Fixin’ To Chicken Salad averages around 780 calories, but the final calorie count varies depending on which ingredients or dressings you remove or add. Using a lighter dressing or skipping tortilla strips can reduce the overall calorie load.
Does it contain dairy?
Yes, the chipotle ranch dressing contains dairy, making the standard version of the salad unsuitable for those avoiding milk-based ingredients. Choosing a dairy-free dressing is recommended for lactose-sensitive customers.
Does it contain soy?
Yes, the salad likely contains soy due to the chipotle ranch dressing and the tortilla strips, both of which commonly include soy derivatives. If soy is a concern, ask for ingredient details and remove the tortilla strips and dressing.
What allergens are present?
The salad may contain several allergens, including dairy, egg, soy, and wheat. Dairy and egg come from the dressing, soy may appear in multiple components, and wheat is found in the tortilla strips. Customers with allergies should request modifications and verify ingredients.
Is delivery available?
Yes, the Fixin’ To Chicken Salad is available for delivery through Midwood Smokehouse Delivery®, and may also be offered through third-party delivery platforms depending on your location.
