What Is in Wendys Ground Beef

Some Wendy's salads can be a healthy eater's BFF—but you have to choose wisely.

While most people might (rightfully) associate Wendy's with its unique square burgers and deliciously decadent Frostys, our favorite fast food chain does have other, healthier items on the menu. When you need to eat something quick but with a little more protein and fiber, a salad might be a good option, and there are quite a few Wendy's salads you can try.

All the leafy options are tasty, but if you're bypassing the burger lineup to save on calories, not every Wendy's salad is a good option. It's hard to make the best choice when you're buzzing through the drive-thru window, so we've listed Wendy's salads (from highest to lowest calorie counts) along with other nutritional content.

The calorie counts include two packets of dressing. Since the dressings all come on the side, you can cut the calories a bit on each salad by using less dressing. While half-salads were some customers' go-to for cutting down on portion size, Wendy's discontinued them a couple years ago, so unfortunately those are no longer an option.

Keep things healthy and easy with our homemade 5-ingredient salad recipes.
