Wendys Berry Almond Chicken Salad

Wendys Berry Almond Chicken Salad


Worldwide fast food chain Wendy’s is introducing its latest option in the salad category with the Berry Almond Chicken Salad. Highlighting the culinary movement of farm-to-table with ingredients straight from the farm, Wendy’s is the only national fast food chain to serve a salad with fresh berries during this season. The restaurant touts more than 6,500 locations worldwide.
Over the last year, Wendy’s salad sales have grown about 60 percent due to the many options available, including the Apple Pecan Chicken Salad, Baja Salad, Spicy Chicken Ceasar Salad and BLT Cobb Salad, all a part of the Garden Sensations line.
The newest salad consists of California strawberries, blueberries, romaine and iceberg lettuce, tossed with a spring mix made up of Lolla Rossa and Tango. California almonds roasted in sea salt complement the sweet of the berries, and rounding out the ingredients are pieces of Asiago cheese and grilled chicken breast. The salad is then topped with a fat-free raspberry vinaigrette made of acai berry juice.
