Veggie SaladVegan

What Chipotle says it is

Chipotle’s printed nutrition sheet describes a salad as: “Chopped romaine lettuce, baby kale and baby spinach, with choice of beans, meat, salsa, cheese and chipotle-honey vinaigrette.” The sheet adds, for the veggie option: “Includes our fresh guacamole and your choice of beans.” That is why guacamole is marked included on every build on this page rather than priced.

The ordering menu tags the listing “Includes Guacamole”. The statement for the veggie option names one ingredient: Red Onion.

On 25 September 2026 the Veggie Salad was listed at all 368 restaurants read, in 48 states and DC. That makes it a core item, on every open menu read. One of those menus marked it unavailable on the read day.

Why the listing and the build differ

The ordering menu lists the Veggie Salad at zero calories. The zero is the brand’s own figure for an option with no protein of its own: the parts chosen on the line carry every calorie, so the listing has nothing to count until they are chosen. This site prints the zero as what it is and sums the parts instead.

Eight parts make the classic build, 750 calories in all: Veggie (fajita veggies and guacamole) (no calories), Romaine Lettuce (supergreens salad mix, the salad base, 3 oz) (15 calories), Black Beans (130 calories), Fresh Tomato Salsa (25 calories), Monterey Jack Cheese (110 calories), Chipotle-Honey Vinaigrette (220 calories), Fajita Veggies (20 calories) and Guacamole (230 calories). The other reference builds: light at 290 calories and loaded at 1,150 calories. Chipotle’s printed sheet gives a built salad as 420 to 910 calories; the classic build sits inside that range.

Protein runs 19 g across the classic build, 2.5 g per 100 calories, and sodium 2,335 mg, 102 percent of the 2,300 mg the FDA uses as the daily value. Press any part in the build above and the bars redraw from that part’s own record.

What the price buys

$8.45 to $12.10 for pickup across 368 restaurants, with a median of $9.80, read on 25 September 2026. The same menus carry Chipotle’s own delivery price: $12.75 at the median, 30.1 percent above pickup, before the service fees the checkout adds. Among the seven salads on the board it is the cheapest at the median, level with Chicken Salad and Sofritas Salad; the dearest is the Steak Salad at $11.80. It is priced level with the chicken version at the median.

The cheapest state median on the read date was Kansas at $9.18, the dearest New York at $11.15. A state median stands on eight restaurants at most, so one dear or cheap restaurant moves it; the national range is the safer figure. Pick a state at the top of the page and every price on this site prints that state’s median.

The priced add-ons on a salad: Queso Blanco $1.70 at the median ($1.40 to $1.80, 368 restaurants) and Cilantro Lime Sauce $1.00 at the median ($1.00 to $1.00, 368 restaurants). Guacamole is included on this order at no charge, by the brand’s own menu; queso blanco is still priced.

The figures against a day

The classic build is 38 percent of a 2,000 calorie day and 102 percent of the sodium daily value, which is to say more sodium than a day. Carbohydrate runs 61 g with 18 g of fiber (64 percent of the 28 g daily value); fat 47.5 g, of which 11 g saturated.

Allergens and diets on this order

The chart has no row for Veggie (fajita veggies and guacamole) yet; the nutrition calculator tags it vegetarian, vegan, paleo and keto. The classic build on this page contains dairy and sulphites, by the rows for its parts; it is vegetarian but not vegan (Monterey Jack Cheese rules vegan out).

On the vegan question the chart says: “Our Sofritas is vegan and vegetarian approved. Vegans should avoid our meats, shredded Monterey Jack cheese, queso, sour cream, and chipotle-honey vinaigrette. Our tortillas, vegetables, rice, beans, salsas, chips and guacamole, are vegetarian and vegan.” Every row on the chart carries the same two cautions: “Individual foods may come into contact with one another during preparation, which is not reflected on this chart.” “Although we do not use eggs, mustard, peanuts, tree nuts, sesame, shellfish, or fish as ingredients in our food, Chipotle cannot guarantee the complete absence of these allergens in its restaurants.”

Where else the protein turns up

The same protein in the other formats: Veggie Burrito at $9.80, Veggie Bowl at $9.80 and Veggie Tacos (3) at $9.80; the price does not move with the format.
