Michael Hemsworth — June 5, 2020 — Lifestyle
The Wendy's Summer Strawberry Salad is a new menu offering from the QSR brand that's made with premium ingredients to help deliver a satisfying meal that's packed with fresh flavor.
The salad is part of its fresh-made salad lineup, and is made with the brand's signature lettuce blend along with herb-marinated grilled chicken breast and a three cheese blend. The salad is rounded off with applewood-smoked bacon and strawberries before being paired with candied almonds and Marzetti Simply Dressed Champagne Vinaigrette.
The Wendy's Summer Strawberry Salad is available at participating locations nationwide, but only for a limited time. The salad speaks to the increased demand for artisan-quality menu items as consumers demand higher value offerings from major QSR brands alike.
