I grabbed the menu from the flight. You are correct about the salad. It was strange to me, but then, I'm not particularly fond of cheese, so I would not normally order any salad that mentions cheese. Here's the entire menu for DL56:

"I don't know who could pass this up. It's classic sophisticated meets comfort food all the way. My favorite Mac 'n' cheese recipe meets my version of steak au poivre. It's my weakness and makes me feel so good and relaxed." - Michelle Bernstein
