Nutrition Breakdown: What the Numbers Mean
At 800 calories with 40g of protein, the Fajita Steak Salad is the #7 lightest of the 8 items in the salads lineup with published calories . That works out to about 5.0g of protein per 100 calories - a strong protein return for the calories, which is why it keeps you full.
The watch-out is sodium: 1800mg is about 78% of the 2,300mg daily limit in a single item - balance the rest of the day accordingly. Saturated fat sits at 9g (45% of the 20g daily value). On the plus side, 18g of fiber is genuinely high for this menu - most items land at 2-3g.

Ordering Tips & Smart Swaps
- Sodium balance: at 1800mg this is one of the saltier items on the menu. Pair it with a fresh side rather than a second seasoned item, and go easy on salty food for the rest of the day.
- Dressing control: on salads at this size, the dressing carries a large share of the calories. Ordering it on the side lets you use half and keep the flavour balance.
- Skip the app markup: ordering this in a delivery app costs about 20% more than the cafe price. Order ahead for pickup in the official app instead - the full breakdown of how Mendo pricing works explains why.
- Feeding a group? This item travels well - see the Mendocino Farms catering guide for box and tray options.
