What item on the menu is nut-free?

The Caesar Salad is the item on the menu that is nut-free. Typically, a classic Caesar Salad primarily consists of romaine lettuce, croutons, Parmesan cheese, and Caesar dressing, which is made from ingredients like garlic, egg yolks, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, olive oil, and anchovies. None of these ingredients include nuts, making it a safe choice for those with nut allergies.

In contrast, the other options clearly contain nuts or are prepared with them. The Almond-Crusted Chicken has almonds as a coating, thus making it not suitable for those avoiding nuts. Spiced Nuts, as indicated by the name, are specifically a blend of various nuts and would pose a direct allergy risk. Hummus, depending on the recipe, traditionally contains tahini, which is derived from sesame seeds, and while it is not technically a nut, many individuals with nut allergies may also be concerned about sesame allergens, leading to potential cross-reactivity. Therefore, the Caesar Salad stands out as the safest nut-free option on this menu.
