Bojangles describes its Garden Salad as:
A mix of romaine and iceberg lettuce topped with cucumber slices, grape tomatoes, and monterey jack & cheddar cheese.
Some franchise menus add a few extra vegetables (like shredded carrots and red cabbage). For example, a Tri-Arc Bojangles menu page lists romaine, iceberg, red cabbage, cucumbers, shredded carrots, grape tomatoes, and Monterey Cheddar cheese.
So in plain English: it’s a simple lettuce-and-veggie salad with shredded cheese, made fresh daily in many locations.

Allergen information (Garden Salad)
The key allergen: Milk (dairy)
Because the Garden Salad includes shredded cheese, milk is the most consistent allergen.
- FastFoodNutrition lists milk as the allergen present.
- The Bojangles nutrition PDF also shows the Garden Salad flagged in the allergen column, and Bojangles includes broad allergen cautions.
Cross-contact warning (very important)
Bojangles’ nutrition PDF includes an allergen statement that they cannot guarantee any menu item is completely free of allergens due to shared prep environments.
So if you have a serious allergy, your safest move is to:
- Ask the store about handling, and
- Consider a different option if cross-contact is high risk.
Quick allergen checklist (most likely)
| Allergen | Likelihood in Garden Salad | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Milk | High | Cheese is included |
| Egg | Medium (if you add some dressings) | Many creamy dressings contain egg |
| Wheat/Gluten | Medium (if you add croutons) | Croutons are wheat-based |
| Soy | Possible (depends on dressing/add-ons) | Some dressings may include soy ingredients |
Is Bojangles Garden Salad vegetarian? Vegan? Gluten-free?
Vegetarian
Generally, yes—because it’s veggies + cheese (no meat).
Vegan
Not by default (cheese). But many people order it vegan by:
- Removing cheese
- Choosing a suitable dressing (verify ingredients)
Gluten-free
The salad base can be gluten-free in theory, but:
- Croutons are not gluten-free (wheat).
- Cross-contact is possible in a fast-food kitchen.
If gluten sensitivity is serious, ask the store and consider risk.
FAQs
Is the Garden Salad a side item or a full entrée at Bojangles?
It depends on the location. Many people order it like a side salad, but some stores position it like a standalone menu item with its own price point. If you want it as a side, ask the cashier if there’s a “side salad” option or if the Garden Salad is the only salad base available.
Why does the Garden Salad cost $7.19 at some stores but $4.99 at others?
Bojangles pricing can vary by franchise, region, and store. For example, one franchise menu lists Garden Salad at $4.99, while other markets may price it higher. Also, third-party menu sources often note that prices may not apply to every location. So treat $7.19 as a “common menu price,” not a universal one.
Do delivery apps (DoorDash/Uber Eats) usually charge more for the Garden Salad?
Often, yes. Delivery platforms frequently show higher menu prices compared to in-store pickup, plus service fees and delivery fees. Even if the salad itself is priced fairly, the final total can climb quickly once fees and tip are added.
What time can you order salads at Bojangles?
Many delivery menus show salads as available 10:30 AM to close, meaning they’re usually not part of early breakfast service. Availability still varies by store—so if you don’t see salads in the app, try checking again later in the morning.
Can I “make it a combo” with the Garden Salad?
Some locations offer a combo upgrade. For example, a franchise menu page shows a “Make It A Combo” option for $3 more.
What you get in that combo (drink/side) can vary by location, so check at checkout.
Does the Garden Salad automatically come with dressing and croutons?
It depends on your store, but many listings treat dressing and croutons as standard salad add-ons. A menu price PDF explicitly says salads include dressing packs and a crouton pack. If you don’t want them, request “no croutons” and choose your dressing intentionally.
If I remove cheese, does the price go down?
Usually not. Most fast-food POS systems price salads as a fixed menu item, and removing toppings doesn’t change the cost. Still, it’s absolutely worth removing cheese if you’re avoiding dairy—just don’t expect a discount.
Can I add grilled chicken (or other protein) to the Garden Salad?
Some locations allow add-ons; others require you to order the Grilled Chicken Salad instead. If you’re ordering through an app, look for customization options like “add chicken” or “extra protein.” If you don’t see add-ons, your store may not support that customization.
What’s usually cheaper: Garden Salad + add-ons, or ordering an entrée salad?
If your location charges a high standalone price for Garden Salad, it can be smarter to order an entrée salad directly—because entrée salads are priced as full meals and often feel like better value per bite. If your store has Garden Salad priced low (like $4.99 in some franchise examples), it can be a great base to customize.
