Wendy’s Has a Delicious Mix of Berries, Almonds and Chicken that’s Well-Suited for Summer!

I love fruit but normally don’t like my fruit with my veggies. It’s kinda like when some kids get squeamish when their peas touch their mash potatoes on a plate. Go figure. It all goes down the same pipe. And let’s get one thing clear, I HATE iced tea. Never, ever drink it. (Well, at least I thought I hated it.) However, Wendy’s and its new Berry Almond Chicken salad paired with a delicious wild berry iced tea, has taught an old-school girl like me to never say never again!

This past weekend, I met up with a great group of blogging mamas and their kids to try Wendy’s Berry Almond Chicken Salad which featured fresh, tangy, plump blueberries; fresh California strawberries; California almonds roasted with sea salt; shaved Asiago cheese; and a warm grilled chicken breast. Topping it off was some delicious yet fat-free raspberry vinaigrette dressing, including the nutrient-rich juice of the acai berry.

This salad was yummy and refreshing on a hot steamy summer day. It was very good. It totally makes sense to top some delicious berries onto a salad bed with a sweet raspberry dressing. This is the kind of salad that would make your kids totally love to eat their greens. And when I saw a picture of a cold tall glass of wild berry iced tea, my mouth really started salivating. My first thought was “no, I don’t like tea.” Then I thought I’d give it a try. With the mix of wild berries, I knew it would likely be a winner. And it really was. The tea was very delicious. Sweet and flavorful. I could drink it all day every day.

And check this: I not only drank it but I went back and got a second wild berry iced tea drink before I left! And EVEN MORE, that same night I left my house drove 20 minutes to my nearest Wendy’s around 10 p.m. and ordered two Berry Almond Chicken salads for me and my husband and two more teas! I just couldn’t get enough.

I am truly delighted with Wendy’s Berry Almond Chicken salad and it’s a refreshing choice for me, and works right into my diet plan. Speaking of diets and calories, a full-sized Berry Almond Chicken Salad boasts a complete, one-cup serving of fruit.

I recommend this sweet, refreshing salad to keep you cool this summer and tickle your belly with some healthy bits of berries. Go to your nearest Wendy’s today. You won’t be disappointed.
