🏆 What is the best Chick-Fil-A salad?
IMVHO, the best Chick-Fil-A salad is the Cobb salad. I’ve tried all the Chick-Fil-A salads, and this is the one I order the most. Apparently, the Cobb salad is the most popular Chick-Fil-A salad (source), so I’m not alone in being a fan.
That said, taste is subjective, so why not see what’s in each of the Chick-Fil-A salads and pick the one that sounds good to you? Here’s the ingredients in the Chick-Fil-A salads (and don’t forget you can switch out the dressing):
Cobb Salad
Ingredients: Chick-Fil-A nuggets, mixed greens, roasted corn kernels, Monterey Jack cheese, cheddar cheese, bacon, sliced hard-boiled egg, grape tomatoes
Toppings: Charred tomato and crispy red bell peppers
Dressing: Avocado lime ranch dressing (I prefer this one topped with honey mustard instead.)
Market Salad
Ingredients: Grilled chicken breast, mixed greens, crumbled blue cheese, chopped red and green apples, strawberries, blueberries
Toppings: Harvest nut granola and roasted almonds
Dressing: Zesty Apple Cider Vinaigrette Dressing (I prefer the light balsamic vinaigrette on this.)
Spicy Southwest Salad
Ingredients: Grilled spicy chicken breast, fresh bed of mixed greens, grape tomatoes, blend of Monterey Jack and cheddar cheeses, black beans, roasted corn, red bell peppers, poblano chiles
Toppings: Chili lime pepitas and seasoned tortilla strips

➕ What is the healthiest salad at Chick-Fil-A?
“Healthy” always depends on what an individual needs. If you want the lowest calorie entrée salad at Chick Fil A, choose the market salad. It’s packed with fruits and vegetables, and offers lean protein from grilled chicken. Choose one of the low-calorie dressings (light Italian, light balsamic, or honey mustard) for a low calorie meal with high volume.
If healthy for you means gluten free, know that Chick-Fil-A does not prepare food in a gluten-free environment. However, they provide information on their website on menu items that do not contain gluten, which you can find here.
You can swap out the chicken and dressing on any of the Chick-Fil-A salads. Choose a grilled chicken option for a lighter meal (or no chicken for a vegetarian salad). Here are the chicken options for the Chick-Fil-A salads:
- Grilled filet (cold or warm)
- Spicy grilled filet (cold or warm)
- Nuggets
- Grilled nuggets
- Chick-n-Strips
- Filet
- Spicy filet

Chick-Fil-A Salads Menu (+ Chick Fil A Side Salad Recipe!)
Equipment
Ingredients
- 10 ounces curly kale (284 grams)
- 8 ounces broccolini (227 grams; about one small bunch)
- ½ cup dried cherries
- ¼ cup toasted walnuts halves
- ¼ cup toasted almonds
- ¼ cup toasted pecans
- 1 lb. grilled chicken breast (454 grams) optional
For the maple vinaigrette:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Rinse the kale under cool running water. Remove the tough stems and chop the kale into bite sized pieces. Place the kale in a large bowl and massage it for several minutes with clean hands. This step is important to get the raw kale more tender.
- Rinse the broccolini under cool running water. Chop it into small pieces (do include the stems). Divide the kale and broccolini between 4 meal prep containers or salad bowls.
- Divide the dried cherries, toasted nuts, and chopped chicken evenly between the bowls. Drizzle with the dressing.
To make the maple vinaigrette:
- Make the maple vinaigrette salad dressing by putting olive oil, maple syrup, cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, crushed garlic, salt, and pepper in a jar. Put the lid on the jar and give it a shake to combine the ingredients.
- To keep your salad from getting soggy, add the dressing right before you are ready to eat. Enjoy!
Notes
💭 Expert Tips from a Dietitian
This is a level 1 recipe (may help support fat loss). Is Chick Fil A salad good for you? Considering that McDonald's dropped the salads from their menu (source), I think it's awesome Chick-Fil-A is offering salads! At the very least, we can say that Chick-Fil-A has offerings that are healthier than McDonald's and some other fastfood chains. Not so many fast food restaurants have a kale salad on the menu and other healthier and low calorie fast food options. It can be tough to access veggies (particularly fresh vegetables) when traveling. These salads can help you increase your vegetable intake while you are on the road. They provide phytonutrients, fiber, and an assortment of essential vitamins and minerals that tend to be lacking in fast food. I like to add grilled chicken breast for lean protein to this side dish salad recipe to make it a full meal. Swap out the chicken with Air Fryer Tofu or Smoked Tofu for a vegan or vegetarian option. To make it keto or low carb, use sugar free maple syrup and skip the cherries. This recipe is perfect for meal prep! Nutrition information is for one serving of the recipe and includes the optional chicken.

Terrified Amateur says
In an amazing coincidence, Summer, if you switch out dried cranberries for the cherries, that almost is exactly the same salad I bring in for lunch every day. I had no notion Chick-Fil-A helped itself to my ideas!
Of course, my version is without the roasted nuts too, and that's a deficiency I'll have to rectify.
Thanks so much for providing valuable details. You've drawn up a great roadmap for achieving the perfect salad, Summer.
Summer Yule says
Thank you so much, but the credit really needs to go to Chick-Fil-A! I'd love to see other fast food restaurants serving up similar options. Your version of the salad sounds great. The cranberries are a nice seasonal touch!
