"Wendy's fans have been clamoring for the return of our Berry Almond Chicken Salad. It's as good as the cafe-style salads, in terms of ingredients, preparation and taste. And ours cost less."<hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><img src="https://cdn.andnowuknow.com/legacyWriterImages/Wendy's_3_million_pounds_berries_BODY02.jpg" alt="IMAGES THURSDAY MAY 30 2013" />The salad combines chicken breast on a blend of 11 types of field greens and topped with shaved Asiago cheese and California roasted almonds. The full-sized option offers 460 calories (360 without dressing), while a half-size portion provides two servings of vegetables and a half-serving of fruit at 270 calories (220 without dressing). The blueberries and strawberries are super foods with super flavor, packed with antioxidant-rich nutrients that promote good health.<hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding">"Many chains offer salads, but not all salads are the same, and the word 'Fresh" is often overused. We offer cafe-quality premium salads at a quick service price," said Craig Bahner, Wendy's CMO. "We take great pride in being the salad leader in our industry."</br/></p><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><p><a class="btn btn-sm btn-primary col-lg-12" style="white-space: normal;" href="http://www.wendys.com/" target="_new">Wendy’s</a></p><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding">
