With over 454.9 million views on TikTok, the search for \"Caesar salad and fries\" yields videos of mostly women enjoying a large portion of the classic salad, crisp french fries and most commonly a Diet Coke or glass of white wine.

Mandisa Boxill, general manager of 54 Below -- an American supper club in New York City -- said her staff has actually noticed a shift in demand for salads and a side of fries.

\"It's just a great meal, it's super satisfying,\" she said. \"We have like two people helping out on that [salad] station to make sure that we can accommodate that demand for that salad. And then we have somebody on the hot line to accommodate all the demand for the french fries as well.\"

Whether it's a duo of girlfriends who split a dinner-sized salad and each order a side of fries or iterating on the meal at home by adding chicken and using the air fryer to crisp up a favorite style of spud, the meal is easy to tailor to one's liking.

However, just because the word salad is in there, it doesn't necessarily mean the dinner combo is the healthiest choice -- especially if dousing it in Caesar dressing and dunking fries in ketchup.

Kerri Glassman, a registered dietitian and founder of Nutritious Life, told \"GMA\" that the option is OK \"every once in a while.\"

\"If you choose to have a salad with french fries, and you're getting in some fiber and antioxidants from the salad, while also indulging in some french fries, that's not a horrible choice at all,\" she said.
