Chick-fil-A won’t remove side salad after all

Chick-fil-A restaurants have reversed their decision to remove the side salad from the menu.

In a March 31 announcement on its website, the chain said the side salad will remain on the menu.

Chick-fil-A explained, “At Chick-fil-A, our guests are at the forefront of every decision we make whether testing new culinary creations or rethinking our menu offerings.

In an effort to simplify and refresh our menu, we made the difficult decision to remove the Side Salad from our menus earlier this month. However, based on feedback, we’ve chosen to continue serving the Side Salad at participating restaurant locations. We are thrilled that customers can continue enjoying this menu item.

This spring, customers can pair the Side Salad with the refreshing flavors of the Watermelon Mint Sunjoy, available at participating restaurants nationwide. Brought back by popular demand after a six-year hiatus, you can sip the watermelon and mint flavors in Watermelon Mint Lemonade, Watermelon Mint Sunjoy, Frosted Watermelon Mint Lemonade and Watermelon Mint Iced Tea.”

The side salad is described on Chick-fil-A’s menu as “A fresh bed of mixed greens, topped with a blend of shredded Monterey Jack and Cheddar cheeses and grape tomatoes. Prepared fresh daily. Served with charred tomato, crispy red bell peppers and choice of dressing.”
