Updated 12 September 2026 · price from a third party listing
Side Salad is the lightest thing in KFC’s Sides section at 56 kcal. Updated 12 September 2026.
The £2.29 figure came from a third party listing rather than from KFC, which means it may reflect a delivery menu. Delivery prices sit above in restaurant prices before any fee is added, so treat this as the ceiling rather than the till price.
Allergens KFC declares

Everything You Need to Know About KFC Side Salad
How to order Side Salad at KFC
Side Salad is available at the till, on the kiosk screens and through the KFC app, for collection or for delivery. It is filed under Sides. Not every branch stocks it, and the app is honest about that before you pay.
KFC Side Salad price in 2026
The KFC Side Salad price in 2026 is £2.29 on the figures we hold. The figure came from a third party listing rather than from KFC, so read it as a ceiling. Within the Sides section that puts it 5th of 5 on price. Expect more at airport, motorway and station branches than on a high street, and more again through a delivery app.
What 56 kcal means here
56 kcal is well below the Sides average. On its own it is a small addition to a day rather than a meal. The 2,000 kcal figure printed on UK menus is a reference intake for an average adult, not a target, and it is the number these percentages are worked against.
Protein for the calories
It gives 1.4g of protein per 100 kcal, against a menu average of 3.8g across everything we hold for KFC. That is a weak ratio for this menu, which matters more than the raw protein figure when you are comparing two items of different sizes. On raw protein it ranks 8th of 8 in its section.
Diet marking
KFC marks this as vegetarian. That is the chain's own classification of the recipe rather than a statement about how it is cooked, and vegan marking in particular sits alongside shared equipment at most of these brands.
Allergens declared
KFC lists none of the 14 allergens UK law regulates as an ingredient of this item. It does list cereals containing gluten, eggs, milk and sesame as a possible trace, meaning KFC cannot rule those out. A declaration covers the recipe and not the kitchen, and every one of these chains prepares food in shared fryers and on shared surfaces. For a severe allergy the only reliable check is asking staff on the day.
Pro Tips for Ordering Side Salad
Dressing is the variable
The dressing is where most of the energy in a salad sits, and it is normally listed as its own line rather than inside the salad figure. Ask for it on the side and you keep the control. The difference is larger than most people expect.
Finding it near you
We list 890 KFC branches across 4 of the four UK nations, with the Northern Ireland postcode area holding the most at 32. Menus vary by site, so a listing here is national rather than a promise about your nearest one. The KFC app confirms it in seconds.
The most expensive in its section
It tops the Sides list on price, out of 5 priced items. The dearest item in a section is not always the worst value, and the nutrition table above is the honest way to judge that.
