Fast Food Summer Salads

For people on the go, there's good news when it comes to eating healthy: Fast food restaurants are listening to our demands for healthier choices!

Just because the kids want a Happy Meal, or your boyfriend can eat a super-sized Burger-Fries-Shake combo, doesn't mean you have to join them.  Here's a list of fast food restaurants with the best summer salad options:

- Wendy's Berry Almond Chicken Salad
-  McDonald's Premium Salad with Grilled Chicken
-  Burger Kind's Chicken, Apple & Cranberry Garden Fresh Salad with Tendergrill Chicken
-  Carl's Jr.'s Grilled Chicken Salad

*Remember that the point is to be as healthy as possible while getting the most nutrients including fresh greens, some fruit and protein.

Watch for extra fat and calories added by fried protein and certain salad dressings.  You usually can't go wrong with grilled chicken and balsamic vinaigrette!
