Subway Salad Menu, Nutrition & Ordering Tips

Q: <strong>Q: <strong>Which Subway salad is the healthiest?</strong></strong>

A: The Veggie Delite® salad is often the lowest in calories if you skip dressings and cheese. It’s mostly fresh vegetables and greens.

When you walk into a Subway, you usually see sandwiches first. But if you want something lighter, Subway Salad is a smart choice. It takes all the good stuff you love in a sub—lean proteins, crisp vegetables, bold toppings—and serves them without the bread.

That means more fresh greens and fewer carbs, which many people appreciate when they want a satisfying meal that won’t leave them feeling heavy. You can make your salad simple or loaded with proteins like chicken or turkey.

You control every ingredient. Pick what you like and leave out what you don’t. That freedom to customize lets you adjust calories, flavor, and nutrition to fit your goals, whether you’re eating on the go or trying to eat healthier.

From greens to proteins, see every Subway Salad on the complete Subway Menu.
