Healthy Salads are a dieter's best friend, fiber-rich and filling, loaded with vitamins and minerals and anti-oxidants, with few calories. And luckily, most fast food restaurants have at least one healthy salad on the menu! Here are a few of my favorites... here are 7 healthy salads to eat daily, one for every day of the week... enjoy!

1. Wendy'S Caesar Side Salad
Calories: 170, Fat: 14g
This is one of my favorite healthy salads... it's loaded with crisp romaine lettuce, sweet grape tomatoes, and rich asiago cheese. If you want to cut out even more calories and fat, try it without the lemon garlic dressing...
2. Mcdonald'S Premium Southwest Salad
Calories: 140, Fat: 4.5g
There is a McDonald's in almost every small town and big city in the entire United States, so there's no excuse for not finding a healthy salad, is there? And this one's particularly tasty, with cheddar jack cheese and lime tortilla chips...
3. Subway Veggie Delite Salad
Calories: 50, Fat: 1g
Who says Subway can only do subs? Their salads are delicious and completely customizable, too! Just avoid the cheese and dressing and bacon bits, and you'll get a healthy salad without the extra fat and calories.
Add any of your favorite fresh veggies like cucumbers, green peppers, onions, and spinach to amp up the nutrient content. If you need a burst of flavor, go for a light sprinkle of vinegar or lemon juice. Packed full of fiber and essential vitamins, this salad is perfect for those looking to maintain a balanced diet without compromising on taste. Feel free to add lean protein options like turkey or chicken breast to make it more filling. Enjoy a refreshing meal that's both guilt-free and deliciously satisfying.
4. Burger King Tendergrill™ Garden Salad
Calories: 230, Fat: 7g
A girl can't live on greens alone, can she? That's why I love this healthy salad: it's got grilled chicken in it, so you'll also get a serving on lean protein. Remember to skip the dressing, or opt for the low-cal Italian or the fat-free ranch.
5. Arby'S Roast Chopped Farmhouse Salad
Calories: 250, Fat: 13g
I know this sounds like a lot of calories and fat, but this includes the optional bacon bits and dressing and cheese. Pick these off, and you'll cut the calories in half and then some. It also has roasted chicken, so you're getting lean protein in those calories, too.
6. Qdoba Vegetarian Taco Salad
Calories: 205, Fat: 1.5g
Order the Vegetarian Taco Salad “naked” (without the tortilla chip bowl) and feel free to add one of Qdoba's 7 tasty, fresh salsas, and get a spicy, savory, healthy salad... you might want to eat this more than once a week!
7. Panera Bread Fuji Apple Chicken Salad
Calories: 230, Fat: 6g
Order this delicious, healthy salad without the Gorgonzola crumbles, pecans, and dressing, and this is the calorie total you'll get... and possibly the best salad! It's delicious, and so easy to replicate at home, too!
Don't all of these healthy salads sound delicious? And the good news is, they're all nutritious, too! Which of these healthy salads do you think you'll try first? Or is there another fast food healthy salad you enjoy already? Do tell!
