    {Back to School Guide} Wendy’s Reinvented Salads Review (& Giveaway Ends 8/31)

    By 447 Comments

    ABOUT:

    Wendy’s has reinvented four tasty salads to add to their menu.  They are hand-made every day right in the restaurant with fresh ingredients delivered straight from the fields.

    Apple Pecan Chicken Salad

    A Perfect mix of peak-season red and green apples, real blue cheese crumbles, sweet cranberries and roasted pecans, topped with a warm, grilled chicken fillet.

    Baja Salad

    A hearty salad with Southwest flair, featuring fresh pico de gallo, guacamole and slow simmered chili, all topped with a red jalapeño dressing.

    Spicy Chicken Cesar Salad

    Cesar salad the way it’s supposed to be, made with hand-chopped romaine, sweet grape tomatoes and shaved Asiago cheese.

    BLT Cobb Salad

    Treat yourself to the taste of crispy Applewood Smoked bacon mixed with real blue cheese crumbles, hard-boiled eggs, tomatoes and avocado ranch dressing.


    MY THOUGHTS:

    I love Wendy’s in general as there food always does have a freshness quality to them.  From their hamburgers to their Frosty’s, I am never disappointed.  Now when I do go to a fast-food restaurant like Wendy’s I typically get a cheeseburger or chicken nuggets, never a salad as my entrée.  I figure if I want a salad I will go to a place that specializes in soup and salads, so when I heard about the new salads at Wendy’s I was skeptical.  I also don’t really like chicken in my salads so I figured my best bet would be the Baja Salad.

    Okay so first off the salads at Wendy’s are pretty big and reasonably priced, about $6.  I didn’t know what to expect when I ordered the Baja salad but I definitely got more than I thought I would.  I received a container of Wendy’s chili (which I am sad to say I had never tried before), a bag of tortilla strips, and a packet of jalapeño dressing (not spicy at all and I am usually a baby with spicy foods).  The salad alone was pretty big and once I added in the chili, it was definitely filling.  I have already gotten this salad three times, while my husband really likes the BLT Cobb Salad.  Everything in the salads are fresh and crisp, no wilting.  I am though very impressed with the taste coming from a hamburger restaurant!

    I do think I might check out the other two salads as I know they will be tasty also.  I also will add that I purchased a cheeseburger with the salad, but it really was filling so I didn’t even eat the cheeseburger!  Whether you have tried Wendy’s before and didn’t want the typical fast-food items or have never been there, I highly recommend checking out their new salads and saving some money from going to salad specialty restaurants!

    Don’t have time to stop for dinner after picking the kids up from school or maybe you have a kid (or yourself) that is busy between classes?  Does this picture offer any inspiration?

      Given the ingredients, as is, in these salads, I would not be interested in any of them. I would have to change some things around, if allowable, to make any of them edible for me. I don’t like blue cheese, guacamole, anything spicy, fruit or nuts in my salad, and prefer ranch dressing only.
