Are Fast Food Salads a Healthy Choice?

love me some croutons! We have a fast food chain in NE called Runza their salads are fantastic! Probably not the best for you but they actually use good lettuces instead of iceberg.

There really is no such thing as a healthy choice at a fast food place. Even the veggie burgers at BK aren't all that healthy because of the bun. Are these BETTER choices than the burgers, fries etc. perhaps, but it's still fast food.

Johanna B: Croutons, REAL, Crutons, get a bad rep for no reason. When I make caesar salads, I make my crutons from scratch using spices, cubes of multigrain bread, flax seed and a little olive oil. I toss them in the mixture and bake them. They aren't unhealthy at all. Sure, if I were to eat more than a few, I'd go into calorie overload, but the 6-8 on my salad actually offer good nutrition. When I used to work in good restaurants, our crutons were likewise made with quality bread and baked. Crutons don't have to be bad for you. Neither does dressing if it's made from scratch. For example, real caesar dressing has an anchovy base, egg, lemon, balsamic, olive oil, garlic, a little mustard (if desired), worcestershire sauce and a little parmesan.... It's not bad for you as long as it isn't used in extreme amounts. Other than that, a spiced balsamic or lemon olive oil dressing is always a healthy option.

No fast food salad is good for you. Even the ones that don't have the fatty extras contain lettuce and other veggies that are stored in a way that causes them to lose most of their nutritional value (if it had any to begin with), meat that is more hormones than anything and dressing that is either all salt or sugar or all fat because very few packaged dressing are even remotely healthy. Moreover, making a salad at home is less expensive than a fast food salad, so why bother?

BK, Wendy's, McD's, Arby's... all these places have the SIDE SALAD. You are asking if fast food salads are healthy, without listing the salads that actually are healthy choices.

They're listing them with the fattiest meat choices and the highest-calorie dressings just to dramatize and bad-mouth the industry. Croutons? I haven't eaten croutons in 5 years. From anywhere. I also haven't had full-fat dressing in over 10 years, 15 probably, no, even more than that.

Side salads can still be 300+ calories with the high-fat dressings. I get grilled chicken on a side salad sometimes at McDonalds, for about 1/3 the price of a regular salad. Virtually the same calories as the regular salads with the same low cal dressing I order.

Hello, summer, good place for shopping, fashion, sexy, personality, maturity, from here to begin. Are you ready?
