Fast food salads

The fast food industry has slowly been shifting to add more health conscious options to their menus as more and more Americans become concerned with obesity and other health problems. Many fast food restaurants now carry salad options, usually topped with chicken if they’re topped with any meat at all. The sizes of these salads will vary, but here are some of the healthiest options available.
