Wendy's Launches New Salad Line Today With Dressing Maker Marzetti

Wendy's wants you to know, that their brand new salad line is a lot more than some crispy iceburg lettuce.

Starting today, you can pick up a new Wendy's salad for $5.99. There are four delicious ones to try......from a BLT Cobb to an Apple Pecan Chicken. And nestled in among the iceburg, you will find these nutritious 'green's: spinach, red and green chard, and red and green romaine..

And what tops this new salad in a very tasty way, is the addition of the special salad dressing. Wendy's has teamed up with well-known dressing maker Marzetti.. New flavors like: avocado ranch and pomegranate vinaigrette. Yummy!

Here are the 4 totally re-invented salads from the Wendy's Garden Sensations line:

1. Apple Pecan Chicken Salad.....with tender grilled chicken and real blue cheese crumbles mixed with fresh, hand picked apples and sweet cranberries.

2. Baja Salad.....Wendy's famous meaty chili on a bed of 11 greens served with spicy guacamole and a red jalapeno dressing with seasoned tortilla strips.

3. Spicy Chicken Caesar Salad.....Classic Caesar with a zing, including grape tomatoes, shaved asiago cheese, and a natural lemon-garlic dressing over French bread croutons.

4. BLT Cobb Salad.....flavored with applewood smoked bacon with blue cheese and tender, center-cut chicken served with a Marzetti avocado ranch dressing.

Wendy's
has not yet provided the caloric information on these new salads at their website. We could only find the stats for their previous Garden Sensations line.
But we really approve of the size and depth of these new salads. These are not side dishes, but full meals. And we give salads the thumbs up, because you can watch calories, but still enjoy a delicious meal.

And sure, you can probably make a much better salad entree at home, but for a quick, fast-food meal on-the-go, you shouldn't overlook Wendy's new salad line.
