Wendy’s pairs cool and creamy with bold and zesty in the new Southwest Avocado Chicken Salad and Sandwich. The freshly prepared salad, sandwich duo fuses flavors from the southwest for that Deliciously Different taste found only at Wendy’s.

"Fresh is just what we do at Wendy's, and that's exactly why we hand-chop our lettuce and only serve warm, freshly grilled chicken on our salads," said Wendy's Chief Concept and Marketing Officer, Kurt Kane.
