What Comes With the Grilled Chicken Pecan Salad?
The Grilled Chicken Pecan Salad is built as a full entrée, not a side salad. A grilled chicken breast tops a bed of freshly chopped lettuce and fresh salad greens, with tomatoes, carrots and a cheddar and jack cheese blend mixed through, a handful of glazed pecans on top, and honey mustard dressing served with it.
How Much Does the Grilled Chicken Pecan Salad Cost?
The Grilled Chicken Pecan Salad starts at $13.49 at the Arlington, Texas, Cheddar’s. For a full entrée salad with grilled chicken, cheese and glazed pecans, that starting price puts it in line with the menu’s chicken entrées — it is a main dish, not an add-on side. Add-ons such as grilled shrimp, or swapping the chicken for blackened salmon, cost extra.

Grilled Chicken Pecan Salad Nutrition and Calories
The Grilled Chicken Pecan Salad is listed at 640 calories for the salad itself — the chicken, greens, vegetables, cheese and pecans. The honey mustard dressing it is served with is listed separately at 370 calories, so the salad eaten with its full dressing comes to 1,010 calories in total. If you are counting, asking for the dressing on the side, or choosing a lighter vinaigrette-style dressing instead of the honey mustard, is the easiest way to bring that number down.

What to Pair With the Grilled Chicken Pecan Salad
A cup or bowl of Baked Potato Soup turns the salad into the classic soup-and-salad combination. The soup — diced potatoes, celery, onions, cheddar cheese and crispy bacon — is warm and hearty next to a cold, crunchy salad, and it is the natural partner from the same Salads & Soup section of the menu.
The Crispy Chicken Tender Salad is the order for someone at the table who wants the same idea done differently. It swaps the grilled chicken for hand-breaded tenders over the same style of greens, tomatoes, carrots and cheddar and jack cheese, with the same honey mustard dressing — one grilled, one crispy.
The Santa Fe Spinach Dip starts the meal if the table wants something to share first. A warm, creamy dip with house-fried tortilla chips before the salads arrive makes the lighter main feel like a full dinner out rather than a compromise.
Is the Grilled Chicken Pecan Salad a Full Meal?
Yes — it is an entrée salad, built to be the main dish rather than a starter. The grilled chicken breast, cheese and pecans make it substantially more filling than a house or Caesar side salad, and it is priced and portioned alongside the menu’s other mains.
You can also build it up further. The salads section of the menu lets you add grilled shrimp, or substitute blackened salmon for the chicken, for an additional charge — either one turns the salad into a bigger, more seafood-leaning entrée without changing anything else about it.
Nutrition and Allergen Considerations
At 640 calories before the dressing, the salad itself sits in the middle of the menu’s calorie range, and the dressing is the number to watch: the honey mustard served with it is listed at 370 calories on its own. As its name and description make clear, the salad contains pecans and cheese, and the dressing is served on the side of the allergen listing — Cheddar’s allergen guide lists this salad with the dressing not included. A gluten-friendly version of the salad also appears on Cheddar’s official Gluten-Friendly menu, modified to be made without gluten-containing ingredients. For food allergies, check the ingredients and preparation information before ordering. Cheddar’s warns that its kitchens use shared cooking and preparation areas, so cross-contact can occur, and items cooked on the grill carry a special risk. It cannot guarantee that any menu item is completely free of allergens.
