I know from reading posts that a lot of us are looking for healthy fast foods that we can tolerate well, taste good, and won't take us off plan. I went thru the drive through at Burger King today and got a salad with grilled chicken, and I must say - it was real good. Their grilled chicken has a better flavor and seems more moist to me than others I've tried. The ranch dressing was very good. Highly reccomend it.

I tried one the other day and you are right, it is pretty good.  The chicken wasn't dry like it can be on their grilled chicken sandwich.  I got the light Italian dressing but I can't eat the ranch because I am a dumper and it's just too much fat for me. 

I love the Wendy's salads with grilled chicken.  I really like that they have the 1/2 size now since all I pretty much eat is the chicken and some of the toppings.  A little lettuce but not much because of pouch space contraints.  :-)

And if you can eat the whole thing it's a good solid 30+g of protein! I use 2 packets of light italian on mine because the ranch makes me sick Sucks too cuz I LOVE ranch dressing!

The reason that the BK salad chicken tastes moister than the sandwich chicken is this -

The salad chicken is cooked on the broiler and immediatley cut up and put into a pouch with the seasonings and a small amount of water.  It is then sealed in the pouch and refridgerated. 

The sandwich chicken is typically cooked on the broiler, then put into a heated "holding" pan forever until someone orders it. 

I worked at BK for 7+ years.  If you ever want a fresh sandwich, order the chicken "off the broiler" and they (should) make it fresh.  It takes a little longer (3-4 mins ish) but the taste is worth it.
