Salad lovers beware

April 16, 2009

For all you salad lovers out there, read this:

WORST SALAD

Chick-Fil-A Chick-n-Strips Salad with buttermilk ranch dressing

* 800 calories
* 60 g fat (12 g saturated fat)
* 1,745 mg sodium

With 17 more grams of fat than Taco Bell’s Fiesta Taco Salad, this is the worst salad from any drive-through. The dressing alone sets you back 42.5 grams of fat. Take a look at our list of the worst salads in America and see how this one compares.

Eat This Instead:

Chick-Fil-A Southwest Chargrilled Salad with fat-free honey mustard dressing

* 360 calories
* 8 g fat (3.5 g saturated fat)
* 1,170 mg sodium

I’ve heard so many salad horror stories, and maybe that’s why I don’t order it as much (well, never). With so many salads being unhealthy, my rationale (or justification, take your pick) leads me to choose a Big Mac if it has the same, or sometimes more, fat and calorie content as a salad, and it tastes way better than tossed grass.
