Wendy's Fresh-Made Salads
The other time was right after Adalyn was born. I remember life was totally crazy and my mom and sister brought over a Wendy's salad for me. We ate lunch at my dining room table and having that lunch together was special and a nice little time in between all the craziness.
I don't often recommend fast food to people but I think that there are some healthy fast food meals out there. Wendy's has some salads that have some tasty ingredients and make pretty good meals on the go.
Here are some of the salads that Wendy's has to offer:
- BBQ Ranch Chicken Salad- Contains fire roasted corn, diced tomatoes, spring mix, Applewood smoked bacon and grilled chicken with BBQ sauce and BBQ ranch dressing. My mom is a big fan of this salad and has had it a few times!
- Apple Pecan Chicken Salad- Red and green apples, roasted pecans, cranberries, blue cheese and pomegranate vinaigrette. My sister is a fan of this salad!
- Asian Cashew Chicken Salad- Fire-roasted edamame, red peppers, cucumber, spicy roasted cashews, grilled chicken and spicy Asian chili vinaigrette.
Both the apple pecan chicken salad and Asian cashew chicken salad are something that I would typically order in a restaurant for a higher cost. I love that at Wendy's you can get a large filling salad for less than in other restaurants. Also, Wendy's often has coupons out where you can get an extra $2 off a salad making it quite affordable!
Troy and I had a little date night where we went to see The Great Gatsby play. We stopped at Wendy's first and I chose the Apple Pecan Chicken Salad. It was awesome. I loved the crunchy apples and sweet pecan. The creamy blue cheese went well with the cranberries. I am super picky with salad dressings and was worried that I would not like the pomegranate vinaigrette but I actually really liked it. Also, the chicken was nice and hot and had a good texture- sometimes fast food grilled chicken can be rubbery.
Even though it was fast food, Troy and I enjoyed our time together. He actually used to work at Wendy's when he was a teenager and has fond memories of working there.
What's neat is that I learned that vegetables are hand-chopped by employees each morning including cucumbers, tomatoes and lettuce. Ingredients are not pre-chopped. Check out Wendy's Romaine Lettuce Journey video.
