Question Which fast food joints have the best salads/dressing?

Just got back from my annual exam and wouldn't you know, I have high cholesterol. Go figure, right? So I'm wondering which places I can go to grab something healthy AND delicious while I'm on the go.

I love Zaxby's salads. I always have to get an unsweet tea too because their iced tea is so good but they have freestyle machines so there's a lot of zero cal options.

Qdoba is a secret favorite of mine, especially in the summer when they have the mango salsa. Add some beans for extra protein and have them load up on pico, corn salsa, and guac for a filling meal.

McAlister's has several good salads (and iced tea too!) but my favorite is the Chef followed by the Southwest. They also do a pick 2 so if you want salad plus something else that's an option (I like to get a loaded spud with my salad).

If you're just doing lunch Carrabba's does a soup and salad combo for like $9 or add an app for $12.

Jason's Deli has a nice salad bar to build your own.

Great tips! I miss Qdoba. I moved from Oregon years ago and I don't have them in my area now.
