I’m a salad geek.
I eat salads, alot. Almost one everyday.
I eat them with fruit, veggies, tortilla strips, chicken, steak, taco meat, cheese, etc.
And because I’m a salad geek and I have two children under the age of eight, I also eat a LOT of salads at fast-food restaurants.
I’ve eaten salads at McDonald’s, Chick-fil-a, Burger King, Subway, etc. And while a fast-food salad is okay, it seems to never be AMAZING.
So when Wendy’s and The Motherhood offered me the opportunity to review Wendy’s new Berry Almond Chicken Salad, I was ready to expect the same-o-same.
And fortunately, I was wrong.
What stuck me about this salad is the fruit – strawberries and blueberries – mixed with chicken, lettuce, and sharp cheddar cheese. So it was sweet, with just a bit of creamy tartness, and lots of good lean protein.
The calorie count is also awesome – only 330 calories per salad – and that includes the raspberry vinaigrette dressing.
The only down side is the price. My salad was $6.79 and if you add on a couple of kids meals and drinks, you’ll be paying close $20.00 for a lunch out.
However, as we are on the road this summer, I’ll remember the Berry Almond Chicken Salad as a great option for healthy eating while traveling.
And because the kind people of Wendy’s want you to experience the Berry Almond Chicken Salad too – I’m giving away a $25 Wendy’s Gift Card.

Burritos from chipotle.
I like to order a bean burrito and nacho supreme at Taco Bell. It’s a lot of food for little money.
plain crunchy tacos from Del taco (cheap and tasty), grilled chicken strips from Jack in the Box with Teryaki sauce (pretty healthy choice) , salads from Wendy’s (every one I’ve tried has been yummy and lo cal!), the new Angus bacon cheese burgers from McDonalds (but the calories in it are crazy!)
I like the Western Bacon Cheeseburger at Carl’s Jr. and the Frosty from Wendy’s
I try to avoid fast food as much as possible, but this salad kind of sounds amazing. If I were going to get fast food, it’d have to be the hand dipped onion rings from an old burger joint around the corner. the place is kind of a tiny shack of a building and only has a walk up window, but they’re cheap and everything is fresh.
