I bought an artisan lettuce box at Aldi. It included red and green tango as well as oak and gem artisan lettuce (pic below).
I cut up the lettuce and added some baby spinach and I already had in the fridge along with some grated carrots. I added 2 grilled chicken breast tenderloins that had been soaking in buffalo chicken sauce. I topped it with 2 tablespoons of low fat blue cheese crumbles and 2 tablespoons of Ken's Chunky Blue Cheese dressing. I did NOT add the french fried onions that Zaxby's is famous for because I didn't want those carbs or calories. I was worried that I would really miss them, but I didn't!
My salad was AMAZING! I made one for my daughter too and she said she really couldn't tell the difference between mine and Zaxby's. Of course, theirs is probably the better tasting, but at least I don't have to continue missing out!
So what was the difference in nutrition info from their zalad to my salad?
Zaxby's- Cal- 780 Fat- 41 Carbs- 50 Protein- 49
Mine- Cal- 390 Fat- 20 Carbs- 8 Protein- 21
