Wendy's Summer Strawberry Chicken Salad Is Back!

Here’s a fun piece of trivia: did you know Wendy’s® was the first national quick service restaurant (QSR) to introduce a salad bar nationwide in 1979? While we pride ourselves on our rich heritage in fresh, never frozen beef*, expertly cooked bacon, fan-favorite Frosty® and more, we also know a thing or two about creating incredible fresh-made, on-trend salads. Our salad bars were phased out in 2006 in favor of more portable salad options, but the inspiration for our salad lineup remains the same: we don’t want fans to worry about sacrificing flavor and quality ingredients for convenience.

We know warm weather and flavorful produce cue summer salad cravings, and we’re here to bring it this season. With that, I’m excited to share our Summer Strawberry Chicken Salad is officially back! This salad boasts quality ingredients like hand-picked strawberries, crisp Applewood smoked bacon and a savory Tuscan cheese blend all topped with a sweet and tangy Champagne Vinaigrette for a sweet yet savory experience. Imagine exactly what you want to be eating on a warm summer day by the pool—that’s what you get in this salad. It’s a combination that’s light, filling and gives salad lovers everywhere what they want, when they want it.

It’s offerings like this that reaffirm why we put so much time and energy into our salads and our entire menu. Wendy’s salad lineup is an example of top-notch culinary quality and Wendy’s food vision—Fast Food Done Right—in action.

Meal Prep = Overrated

We’ve all likely experienced a “fail” when recreating a favorite restaurant salad from scratch at home. One of the best things about the Summer Strawberry Chicken Salad is you can avoid the mess and headache that can come with preparing a salad like this at home. Think about the time you’ll get back to do more summery things, like taking a pool-side break or conquering that Insta-worthy sidewalk chalk art. We can dream, can’t we?
