1/6, I over guessed the calorie count on 4 of them. The worst part is people go out and order salads and expect them to be the healthier choice. When I was a meat eater, I'd go and get a chicken finger salad... 3 pieces of deep fried chicken, cheese, bacon, and 1000 island dressing. Horrible, absolutely horrible.

Macaroni or pasta salad often contains a large amount of mayo (which provides around 100 calories per tablespoon). Dish out just half a cup of macaroni or pasta salad, and you'll add hundreds of calories to your salad in one fell swoop. Croutons can add about 90 calories per half cup. Homemade croutons often have added fat and may even be deep fried. If you just can't have a salad without them, crush just a couple up and spread them all over your salad; you'll get some of the crunch and flavor and fewer calories.
