These Are Only Fast Food Salads We're Willing To Eat

Not all drive-thru salads deserve a bad rap. We know, we know. Who goes to a fast food restaurant to eat a salad? When you have a bevy of burgers and French fries available, the last thing most of us want to do is order a bowl of lettuce. Fast food salad offerings have long been ridiculed for not fitting in with the rest of the menu. They've been teased in standup comedy routines and even in Spongebob Squarepants. And for a long time, it seemed like national chains were in on the joke. Salad offerings were relegated to the bottom of fast food menus and were typically comprised of all the vegetables you'd normally find on their burgers. Maybe, if they were feeling generous, they'd add a handful of shredded cheese. It's almost as if they didn't want us to order them in the first place. Since the fast food salad boom of the early aughts, we've largely let go of the expectation that burger chains need something green. Spots like Burger King, McDonald's, and Taco Bell have quietly removed salads from their menus over the past few years. And with the rise of fast-casual salad chains like Sweetgreen and Just Salad, we anticipate that the availability of fast food salads will continue to dwindle. But for when you're on the road and want a quick, (relatively) affordable salad, we've rounded up the best salads you can get at regional and national fast food chains. Listed in no particular order, these are the salads that are actually worth buying. We factored in things like the variety of ingredients, how substantial they are, and overall quality. What we didn’t consider in our roundup was the nutrition info—but we included that information in case that’s important to you. So the next time you're at the drive-thru you can get your greens without sacrificing flavor.
