      I’ve heard so. It’s the oil in the dressing.

      Only if you add the dressing!

      Hey ltrueman,

      that would depend on the salad! Did you know that calories are worked out by burning the food in a special oven to see how much ‘fuel’ they represent!!! If a salad has, say cheese, dressing, some meat like chicken etc then I can easily imagine that they might have more calories than a burger! If it’s just salad leaves and a small amount of dressing then probably not.
