In an effort to cater to the growing number of consumers looking for more healthy take-out options, [Domino's Pizza](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyprotein-dough) is now offering prepared salads. While it may seem like an unlikely menu addition for the chain, Domino's explains the change by humorously stating: "Because sometimes, there's that one person who only wants a salad on pizza night."

The new prepared salads are part of the chain's healthier menu selection and include three different varieties: Classic Garden, Chicken Apple Pecan and Chicken Caesar. The salads can be ordered individually or as part of the chain's [mix and match promotion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/weeklong-carryout-special).

The new salad options demonstrate that even comfort-food focused business such as pizza chains are looking for new ways to cater to health-conscious consumers.
