Parmesan Caesar Salad Wendy’s Menu USA – Ingredients & Nutrition
$ 7.99
Parmesan Caesar Salad is a solid pick from Wendy’s Menu when you want something lighter than a burger without giving up flavour. It’s built fresh with crisp romaine, grilled chicken breast, shaved Parmesan, crunchy Italian cheese crisps, buttery garlic croutons, and creamy Caesar dressing.
The chicken makes this one stand out. It’s not an afterthought tossed on top, it’s the main event, which is why the salad holds up as an actual meal instead of a side dish pretending to be one. Carbs stay reasonable here too, mostly from the croutons, so it’s an easy fit if you’re keeping an eye on that without wanting a boring meal to show for it.

Is it gluten free?
Nope.
The salad contains croutons made from wheat and other ingredients may also come into touch with gluten during preparation.
While removing the croutons may limit your exposure to gluten, Wendy’s cannot ensure that any dish is fully gluten-free due to shared cooking equipment.
Keto Friendly?
You can make it more keto friendly.
For less carbs:
Take the croutons out.
Use less caesar dressing if you choose.
Grilled chicken and Parmesan cheese are naturally high in protein and low in carbs.
