Are salads considered to be appetizers?

We're considering DDP for 3 nights in December, with 2 of our TS credits going towards a birthday dinner at Citricos and the third probably at Ohana or Coral Reef. In perusing the menu for Citricos and reviewing the stipulations for each meal, I see that the TS is one appetizer, one entree, and one dessert. Can a salad be substituted for an appetizer (most are cheaper than most of the appetizers) or would that be OOP? I would not expect to be able to have both, but I want to have my facts straight before laying out the options for paying for food to my parents and to my in-laws, who are joining us for this trip!

Yes, you can pick a salad as an appetizer. Or soup. That's what DH and I usually choose.

The only time I could see a restaurant not allowing it is if it's a special entree type salad.

Most of the time, when you tell your server you're on the dining plan, he/she is very helpful in guiding you through what they allow on the plan.

Hope this helps!

Thank you!

We found that at lunch the small side salads (which cost the same or less than other appetizers) were not allowed as appetizers. At dinner it was never a problem but apparently at lunch any salad is considered an entree.
