Last week, my daughter and I went to Wendy’s. I was disappointed to find they no longer had the Cobb Salad I had fallen in love with. However, I found a new love, the Strawberry Fields Chicken Salad. Topped with strawberries, chicken, bacon, red onion, blue cheese, and honey roasted sunflower seeds; it was a little bit of love in every bite! They offered me an Apple Vinaigrette Dressing, but I opted instead for the Lemon Caesar.
Needless to say, I think the new Strawberry Fields Chicken Salad is wonderful! So much so, that I decided to recreate it at home. At home, I topped it with sweet (Kraft) Catalina dressing and was amazed at how much more it brought out the natural sweetness of my strawberries.
Arriving just in time for my Wendy’s Strawberry Fields Chicken Salad Copycat Recipe, was a new Pro-Freshionals Cut Fruit Bowl. Although the bowl is intended for fresh cut fruit, I found a couple of ways to use it as I prepped for my salad. The inner, pink bowl is actually a colander. It worked well to hold my strawberries as I washed and stemmed them. I then used it to rinse my salad greens. My sink was full, so I just dropped it back into the outer, green bowl and left it on the countertop to drain. After the salad greens completely drained, I just used the spout to pour out the water that collected below.

This is the whole goal behind the Pro-Freshionals Cut Fruit Bowl, to allow fruit to stay fresher by draining their excess liquids. It did a remarkable job of keeping my salad fresh for three days, as well. Even with everything mixed together, it stayed fresh and crisp from day 1 thru 3. I was really surprised. I expected mushy, soggy lettuce by the third day.
Another way that I foresee using the Pro-Freshionals Cut Fruit Bowl, is to chill or perk up warm or wilted salad greens. Sometimes, I like to really plump up my salad when it isn’t looking very perky. I fill my sink with ice and water before tossing in the greens. Of course, this involves scrubbing down the sink and hoping that I don’t need it any time soon. Instead, I can add the ice and water to the bowl, stick it in the fridge, and pull it out later when it’s perked up. Then just lift the colander out to drain.
This bowl is awesome and versatile! Head to your nearest Bed, Bath, and Beyond to get one for yourself.
Generously seasons all chicken breasts with lemon pepper. Coat with olive oil. Allow to sit for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 400*.
Line a large roasting pan with foil. Place a cookie rack inside the roasting pan. Spread bacon out across the rack. Double stack the bacon if needed, at first, then spread it out more as it cooks. Cook bacon in the oven until crispy.
While bacon is cooking, place chicken on a well-seasoned , cast iron grill pan or other cookware to bake. Bake until golden on the outside and no longer pink on the inside.
The bacon and the chicken usually get finished around the same time.
While the bacon and chicken are cooking, clean and quarter the strawberries. Prep the salad greens, and gather the other ingredients.
Once the bacon is cooked, crumble it into bite-size or smaller pieces.

It supplies Yum! Brands chains that use chicken, including KFC and Taco Bell, as well as McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's, Walmart, Kroger, IGA, Beef O'Brady's, small restaurant businesses, and prisons.
The lettuce used in McDonald's salads was different from the lettuce used in the chain's burgers. By getting rid of the salads, McDonald's was able to both deal with supply shortages and save money in the process. The pandemic also caused the company to consider other factors as well.
The romaine lettuce used on Wendy's burgers is a romaine and iceberg lettuce hybrid that is smaller than regular romaine heads and is not the same type of lettuce used in Wendy's salads.
Bacon alone can pack in a concerning amount of sodium into your diet, and that's not the only health risk presented by this processed meat. Altogether, the Baconator contains 1540mg sodium, 960 calories, and 66g fat. You're better off choosing something else, especially if you're looking out for your heart.
If you prefer a salad with chicken, the one with the lowest sodium count is the half-size apple pecan chicken salad without cheese. Without the cheese (which contributes close to 200 milligrams of sodium), it becomes the lowest-sodium chicken option on Wendy's menu.
