The Southwest salad without chicken is wheat-free and the Bacon Ranch and Caesar salads both without chicken should be OK but NO Croutons. Most Newman’s Own dressings are OK. Scrambled eggs and the sausage and eggs are supposed to be cooked in GF liquid margarine. Check before you order. Salsa Roja and the cheeses are fine. Hash browns are loaded with wheat!
