Most Chipotle salsas are very low in calories, from 15 to 30 calories per serving. The exceptions are the roasted chili-corn salsa (80 calories), red chimichurri (80 calories), and the honey vinaigrette dressing (220 calories). The main thing to watch with salsa is sodium, not calories.
This guide lists the nutrition for every Chipotle salsa, sauce, and dressing, and which ones are best for your goal.
Chipotle Salsa Nutrition
| Salsa (1 serving) | Calories | Carbs | Fat | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tomatillo-green chili salsa | 15 | 4 g | 0 g | 0 g | 260 mg |
| Fresh tomato salsa (pico) | 25 | 4 g | 0 g | 1 g | 550 mg |

| Roasted chili-corn salsa | 80 | 16 g | 2 g | 4 g | 330 mg |
The corn salsa has the most calories and carbs, but also 4 grams of fiber and 3 grams of protein. The green salsa is the best pick if you want flavor with the least sodium.
Red Chimichurri Nutrition
| Sauce | Calories | Fat | Carbs | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Red chimichurri | 80 | 8 g | 2 g | 240 mg |
Red chimichurri is an oil-based sauce, so most of its 80 calories come from fat. It is low in carbs and fits keto and paleo orders. It has been offered as a limited-time item, so it may not be on the menu everywhere.
Honey Vinaigrette Nutrition
| Dressing | Calories | Fat | Carbs | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chipotle honey vinaigrette | 220 | 16 g | 18 g | 850 mg |
The vinaigrette is the highest-calorie sauce on the menu. It can make a salad heavier than a bowl. See Chipotle honey vinaigrette calories and salad calories with dressing.

Watch the Sodium
Salsas add very few calories, but two scoops of tomato salsa add over 1,000 mg of sodium. If you want several salsas, mix green salsa with one other. See the lowest sodium ingredients at Chipotle.
Are There Zero Calorie Sauces at Chipotle?
No salsa is truly zero, but the green salsa (15 calories) and tomato salsa (25 calories) are close. Bottled hot sauce at the table is also very low in calories.
