Along with prices, I’ve included calories and key nutrition details so you can compare your options before ordering.

Yes. Culver’s has had a small, rotating salad lineup for years, built to sit alongside the ButterBurgers rather than compete with them. Right now that lineup includes four full salads and a smaller side salad. It’s not a huge menu. Culver’s isn’t trying to be a salad chain   but what’s there is made fresh, not bagged and pre-mixed.

The Garden Side Salad is Culver’s smaller, budget option  mixed greens, cucumber, tomato, croutons, and a bit of cheddar, without any protein added. It runs about $2.79–$3.29 depending on location, and sits at just 50 calories, with 3g of fat, 5g of carbs, and 3g of protein.
It’s built to pair with a burger or sandwich as a side, not to be a meal on its own. Think of it as the “add something green” option rather than a full salad order.

Different people order salads for different reasons, so here’s how the lineup breaks down by what you’re actually trying to do.

Culver’s doesn’t publish a single official salad-only PDF that stays current   pricing changes too often by location for that to stay accurate for long. What you’ll find instead is the live, always-updated menu on the Culver’s app and website.
If you want something to save or print, this page covers the same information: prices, calories, and full nutrition  in one place, and it’s easier to keep current than a downloaded file that goes stale the next time prices change.

The $9.29 price listed above reflects a current menu at one Culver’s location, but you may see a slightly different price at your local restaurant. Location, local operating costs, and menu updates can all affect what you pay.
For the most accurate price, check your nearest Culver’s location through the official website or app before ordering. The local menu is the best reference for the price available to you.

The dressing is where a “light” salad quietly stops being light. Here’s what the actual numbers look like:

The Garden Fresco Salad is Culver’s plainest, lightest option: mixed greens, grape tomatoes, cucumbers, and shredded cheddar. At $9.29 and 330 calories, it’s the lowest-calorie full salad on the menu.
You can add grilled or crispy chicken to bulk it up, which is the move if you want something more filling without stepping outside the “light option” category. Ask for grilled if calories matter to you  crispy chicken’s bread adds up fast.

At 430 calories, the Chicken Cashew Salad is the heaviest hitter on the salad menu and also the most popular one, based on how often it comes up in reviews and menu chatter. Grilled or crispy chicken, roasted cashews, cucumbers, grape tomatoes, and Wisconsin cheddar over mixed greens.
Same $9.29 price as everything else, but noticeably more food and more protein thanks to the chicken-and-cashew combo. If you’re ordering a salad to actually replace a meal, this is the one that does it.

This is the flavor-forward pick. Dried cranberries, bleu cheese crumbles, real bacon, and your choice of chicken, sitting at 390 calories for $9.29.
It’s the one people order when they want a salad that still feels like a treat. The bacon and bleu cheese push the sodium and fat a bit higher than the Garden Fresco, so if you’re watching sodium specifically, this isn’t the lightest choice but it’s far from the heaviest fast-food salad out there either.

The Strawberry Fields Salad is the one salad on this list you can’t always get. It’s a limited-time, seasonal item  fresh strawberries, candied pecans, bleu cheese, and grilled chicken, usually served with a raspberry vinaigrette. At $9.29 and 370 calories, it sits right in the middle of the lineup.
Because it’s tied to the strawberry season, it tends to show up in spring and run through summer, then disappear until it comes back around the following year. If this is the one you’re after, checking the Culver’s app in early spring is your best bet at catching it before it’s gone.

If you’re choosing between a salad and a burger meal, a grilled chicken salad can be the lighter option, especially when you skip the fries and choose a lighter dressing. The Garden Fresco is the simplest choice if you’re mainly looking at calories, while the Chicken Cashew adds more protein and crunch but also more calories from the cashews and dressing.
So, if your priority is keeping the meal lighter, go with the Garden Fresco and a vinaigrette. If you simply want something different from a burger, the other salad options give you more variety and flavor.
