I will have to try that. What I usually do is get the regular garden salad and then chicken tenders. I slice those up (like slicing a banana) and then use that avocado lime dressing. Delicious! I love, love, love that avocado lime dressing.

Definitely Chopt or Sweetgreen. Chick fil a salads are good for fast food, but not that great and not as good as most fast casual options. They definitely beat McDonalds, Wendy’s, etc.

Really? I don’t like Chopt at all. Have tried it several times.

I do love the Southwestern Chicken salad from California Toritilla though. So good!

Will now have to try Chik Fil A. Haven’t loved their salads but do like their wrap. With that awesome Avocado Lime dressing.

As an aside, Wendy’s used to have the most amazing taco salad. I ate it for years until they got rid of it.

Thanks for explaining what you mean by slicing. I was having a hard time conceptualizing that.

Are any of their salads good for picking up and then eating later?

Oh, you're welcome. I thought you would have problems so I'm glad I could help!

Add grape tomatoes, the relish, etc, and yes we grilled the chicken breasts that morning and cut them and placed them on the salad.

Thank you for this info--great to know!

I love pretty much all of the Chick-Fil-A salads. I mostly get the Cobb without bacon, and I too request fresh nuggets. Hmmm....now I'll probably have a ChickFilA salad for dinner tonight.

I do, and the CFAs in Montgomery County are always SUPER busy. I've never been in an empty one.
