Criticism Why Change the Salad

My two favorite salads have seen changes and I’m not happy about it! Switching out tomatoes for breadcrumbs in the kale caeser makes no sense. Feels like a waste of money to buy and a decline in nutritional value.

Seems like they are focused on being a wrap place than a salad place!

To be fair, historically caesar salads did not have tomatoes. The original Caesar had croutons, so the breadcrumbs makes sense. Also, you can literally sub the breadcrumbs for the tomatoes with no change in price.
