How does Chick Fil? A salad compare to garden salad I grew myself in terms of time, money and taste? It takes about 30 minutes, and each salad costs about $4.15 plus tax. Now I'm gonna see what I can do. First, let's find some curly kale. This stuff grows pretty much year round. Now let's get some cabbage. I'll chop up the kale first, then the cabbage and make some dressing. Olive oil, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, a little bit of honey. And we're done.
Let's test it out. This thing tastes like it could be in a Michelin star restaurant. Now let's try the Chick Fil? A version. It's a little bit soggy. I'm getting mostly the almonds. It's not terrible. So what do you think? $4.15 plus tax. 35 minutes and 45 seconds or double the salad for a dollar 70. 10 minutes and 30 seconds. So are you heading back to Chick Fil? A? Let me know.
