1 Cauli Slider w/ Fries
A complete plant-based meal: one breaded fried Cauli Slider on a toasted brioche bun with pickles and kale slaw, plus a side of crinkle-cut fries and Dave's Sauce. Vegetarian, available at all seven heat levels.
About the 1 Cauli Slider w/ Fries
The 1 Cauli Slider w/ Fries rounds out the Single Cauli Slider into a full meal โ the same brioche-bun slider with crunchy pickles and cool kale slaw, paired with a generous side of crinkle-cut fries and a cup of Dave's Sauce for dipping. It's the easiest way to get the complete Dave's NOT Chicken experience in one order, at any of seven heat levels.
At roughly 850 calories and $10.49, this combo is built for a satisfying single-person lunch or dinner without the volume of a two-piece meal. The fries do double duty: a salty, neutral palate break between spicy slider bites and the perfect vehicle for Dave's Sauce. It's vegetarian but not vegan, since the batter, bun, and slaw dressing contain dairy and egg.
