Ordering Tips & Smart Swaps

  • 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.
