Fast Food Salads

The Southwest Chicken Salad at Jack In The Box is so delicious, get grilled chilcken to make it healthier and don't put extra dressing like me because its 200 calories a packet of it I think. Chick Fil A wraps and salads are yummy too.

Wendy's has the best! (And healthiest) Try the oriental chicken salad

I like the salads at Chick-fil-a and Jason's Deli.

My favorites are the Southwest Salad with grilled chicken at McDonalds and the Southwest Chargrilled salad at Chickfila with spicy dressing. I did Weight Watchers for a year and neither one of these is a total killer on the diet either.

Good luck,

Chick Fil-A has really great salads.

The Caesar salad with grilled chicken at Mac Donalds is yummy and healthy if you don't put a lot of dressing on the side - mixed greens, grape tomatoes, carrots, garlic croutons, grated parmesan cheese, with Newman's Own Caesar Salad dressing.

Their Fruit and Walnut salad is also great (sliced red and green apples, grapes, candied walnuts and low-fat yogurt).

If you are at home, try the following salad: Mixed greens, dried cranberries, chopped walnuts, a sprinkling of feta cheese, and a little olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Top with pine nuts (you can get these cheap at Costco and freeze them). It can be a little addicting.

I am not a big fan of salads. When I found out that iceburg lettuce ahd no nutrition, sometimes the chicken was tasteless, sometimes the dressing had as many calories as a cheeseburger, and that lettuce can be hard to digest, I gave up on most of them unless the taste was amazing.

I found an amazing, tasting salad at Panera Break Company. I had the Asian one but there are some others that looked good. I think they also had calories listed beside them (or was that Jasons?) Here's PBC's salad menu that I copied and pasted for you below:

Do you have Wendy's in TX? Their mandarin chicken salad is delicious. The chicken is grilled, not fried. They give you a packet of toasted almonds and a packet of crispy noodles. Skip the crispy noodles... just extra calories with no health benefit. Go easy on the dressing, and you've got a pretty healthy lunch :)

Dairy Queens Grilled chicken salad is delicious. There is no plain grilled chicken salad so you have to order which ever one has the grilled chicken and ask them to only leave the chicken, lettuce, tomatoes and cheese. I think they are so good because their grilled chicken is tasty.

A trick for your salads....ask for salsa or picante sauce instead of dressing. It is delish. That is what I do when I go to a restaurant and order a taco salad. You can LOAD the dressing on because it is so good for you!

i love sonics grilled chicken salad its a regular salad but I have to ask for extra dressing they dont give enough. great on a hot day. burger king has good salads too.

You are in Allen.......... I LOVE Market Street. I eat a salad there almost daily.

Fresh ingredients, make it yourself.....SUPER place.

I buy all my groceries there and eat there daily. LOVE the place

Hi V.,

I like Jason's as well although I'm not sure any of them have a drive thru. Most of the ingredients on the salad bar are organic and they taste so much better than most salad bars. When I have to do a drive thru, it's usually for a Wendy's oriental chicken salad.
