The Southwest Caesar Salad with chicken starts with a base of romaine lettuce tossed in Caesar dressing. Throw in some chipotle aioli and crunchy blue corn tortilla strips, grilled chicken breast, fresh avocado, grated parmesan cheese, and cilantro to top things off.
The Strawberry Poppyseed Salad has romaine lettuce, grilled chicken, and a generous helping of fruit including fresh strawberries, mandarin oranges, pineapple and blueberries. Panera’s own poppyseed dressing tops things off, along with some roasted pecan pieces. The Strawberry Poppyseed Salad can only be had in spring when fresh strawberries are available, so hurry in.

What’s On The Panera Menu?
Panera Bread is a bakery and deli-type restaurant with a wide array of sandwiches, soups, salads, and baked goods. Their bagels are particularly popular, and the new Flatbread Pizza has caught on, too. Panera’s coffee holds up pretty well to the premium competition from other fast casual restaurants. Like Starbucks, it’s a spot where people will set up to get some remote work done, or lounge around with family and friends in a leisurely atmosphere. They’ve leaned into this trend with the Unlimited Sip Club, where you can get all the coffee, hot tea and sometimes other free drinks for a flat monthly fee. For the full lineup, visit the Panera Bread Menu page. Panera gift cards are a pretty solid choice when you aren’t sure what to get for a loved one.
If you’re looking for a meal for a business function, Panera Catering is a great option. They’ve got a lot of different items to choose from, it travels well, and it generally keeps everyone happy and more likely to pay attention at the meetings.
