Because my priorities have shifted to studying for my CLFP exam I have been recording all of my shows to watch on Friday night/Saturday morning to catch up. Even though I get to fast forward through the commercials I couldn't help getting sucked into the marketing of Wendy's Strawberry Fields Chicken Salad because it comes on every commercial break so I catch glimpses of strawberries and bacon. Oh my!
One evening after work I was exhausted, it felt like 100 degrees, and I did not want to cook. I could have easily pulled into the Wendy's drive thru but have been making healthier choices the last week and didn't want to get off course so I pulled into Randalls to gather the ingredients.
I went on the Wendy's menu to read the salad description so I knew what to get.
I know I said I didn't want to cook but frying bacon doesn't count. To me anyway.
This salad is sweet and tangy with spring greens topped with grilled chicken, crumbled bleu cheese, salty bacon, and juicy red strawberries. This salad is perfect for dinner being that it is light and healthy coming in under 500 calories.
