I have oft opined about Wendy’s salads (and pined for those dearly departed salads that have been loved in days gone by and are no longer with us.) Like here and here. I stumbled into their new Strawberry Mango Chicken Salad recently and it’s quickly become one of my favorite fast food finds. And alas, I know it will go away someday soon, never to return. I’ve made my peace with that and have also made my own copycat version, so when it slips away from this life in the not-so-distant future, I’ll still be able to remember all the magical times we spent together.
You’re going to need grilled chicken (cut into strips), baby spinach, mixed baby greens, sliced strawberries, cubed mango, honey roasted sunflower seeds, crumbled feta cheese, and some of this incredible salad dressing.
Can we take a closer look at that amazing fruit and remember why summer’s pretty fantastic.
Toss all ingredients except dressing together on a salad plate (or large dinner plate).
Drizzle with dressing and serve immediately.
Super easy! This is also a great recipe to make a few of ahead of time to eat throughout the week!

My 14-year-old son made this for dinner last night. It took him a little more than 30 minutes, but everyone loved it!
the mango strawberry salad-over all flavor was good. there may have been one whole strawberry, chopped in tiny pieces, and 2 Tblsp little cubes of mango. Basically, it was a $9.89 lettuce salad , with a sprinkle of feta. chicken amount OK. Not impressed with the fruit amount, certainly doesn’t look like your advert
I made this tonight (with Quorn fillets for chicken) and it was delicious! Thank you for another tasty recipe 🙂
You must have seen Wendy’s taco salad is back 🙂 I thought you might throw a party
I DID, but I miss the one with the guacamole and the pico. ?
Where do you get honey roasted sunflower seeds?
I’ve found them at Walmart in the produce section with other salad-y nut-like things…
This salad looks amazing! I need to make this for my lunch tomorrow!
