Recommend Items: Berry Almond Chicken Salad 

This isn't my first time trying this salad. I had it last year. I think this is a summer-only salad (so make sure you have it before they stop serving again). I had to admit that I loved it. I am not a big salad eater. Like I wouldn't order salad as my main dish when I go to restaurants. But when there's salad comes as side dishes, I would eat it. Most of the salad that I've tried didn't leave too much impression on my mind, except Wendy's Berry Almond Chicken Salad, the Salad in raspberry dressing at Weber's Restaurant in Ann Arbor, and the Caesar salad at Costco. This time I got it at somewhere near Ohio turnpike as my dinner on the way back to Ann Arbor. Wendy's has over 6,000 locations worldwide so it's highly convenient. Compared with lots of other  fast food chain restaurants, I think Wendy's somehow tastes healthier. It is also one of the reasons why I choose to visit occasionally even on Ann Arbor campus.

 

Here's a little description from Wendy's website about the Berry Almond Chicken Salad. The salad is made from eleven types of freshly chopped field greens topped with plump blueberries, sweet California strawberries, almonds roasted with sea salt, shaved Asiago cheese, and a warm grilled chicken breast for a powerful punch of dietary fiber, calcium, and antioxidant-rich nutrients. It comes with Fat Free Raspberry Vinaigrette dressing, made with acai berry juice. Very fancy description. But I think it's very true. They give lots of fruit and chicken. The full-size Berry Almond Chicken Salad is between $6 and $7. Not really that cheap as many people would think since it supposed to be a cheaper fast food chain restaurant. But believe me, I think it really worth the price. And the full-size salad is only 460 calories. I ate it as dinner and I felt really full and satisfied. 

Berry Almond Chicken Salad

I just love the taste and how they blend everything together. I use only one package of the dressing and I think it's enough. The fruits are sweet rather than bitter and the grilled chicken breast is so tender and juicy. I hate when grilled chicken is dry... Lots of other places have this kind of problem sometimes. I highly recommend this salad. It helps with lazy dieting cause you don't actually feel that you are really dieting by having this salad as a meal. You will most likely feel full and satisfied for its quality and quantify. I'll definitely go back and order this salad many more times! Whether you like salad or not, just give it a try! Bon appéitit!! ^_^
