Wendy's Salad and McDonald's Wrap Hacks

Wendy's has two salads that I am quite fond of, but I am not fond of paying their prices for it. Same goes for a wrap that McDonald's has discontinued. So, I keep trying to make the salads and wrap at home for much cheaper. So, here's my take on the Apple Pecan Chicken Salad and the Strawberry Fields Chicken Salad, plus the Sweet Chili Chicken Wrap. Since the assembly is to simply put everything together, I am just listing ingredients with links to things that might be harder to find.

Wendy's Apple Pecan Chicken Salad

Ingredients:

• salad mix, any you prefer
• green apples (Granny Smith), bite size pieces
• red apples (any kind you like, I prefer cruchy and tart), bite size pieces
• blue cheese crumbles
• dried cranberries (crazins)
• roasted/candied pecan pieces
• grilled chicken, bite size pieces
• Marzetti Simply Dressed Pomegranate Vinaigrette

For approximately 570 calories, my proportions for this salad are:

• 4.5 oz Dole Classic Romaine Salad Mix
• 105 grams chicken
• 2 servings Marzetti Simply Dressed Pomegranate Vinaigrette
• 1 Tbl blue cheese
• 1 Tbl candied pecans
• 1/2 granny smith apple
• 1 Tbl cranberries

Wendy's Strawberry Fields Chicken Salad

Ingredients:

• blue cheese crumbles
• bacon, crumbled
• honey roasted/candied sunflower seeds
• sliced red onion
• grilled chicken, bite size pieces

McDonald's Sweet Chili Chicken Wrap

Ingredients:

• flour tortilla
• Panda Express Sweet Chili sauce
• cucumber slices
• tomato slices
