FAQs
Can I get the salad without chicken?
Yes! You can order it as a “Garden” salad or just a side salad to save calories and money.
What makes the salad crunchy?
Wendy’s uses baked Parmesan crisps instead of bread croutons. They are made of real cheese and low in carbs.
Is this salad keto-friendly?
Yes. The cheese crisps keep the net carbs low (about 8g), making it a good keto option.
Are tomatoes always included?
Standard salads have grape tomatoes, but you can ask to remove them.
Can I swap grilled chicken for spicy chicken?
Yes! You can choose Spicy or Homestyle (Crispy) Chicken, but this will add more calories and carbs.
