Spring is just around the corner and Noodles & Company is leaning into the summer vibes with its fresh and tasty Backyard BBQ Chicken Salad.
The Backyard BBQ Chicken Salad is a returning LTO that's become a fan-favorite. This flavorful dish consists of a bed of mixed greens topped with grilled chicken, tomato, and red onion. The whole thing is then tossed with a tangy BBQ coleslaw dressing and finished with a garnish of roasted corn and cheddar jack cheese. The dish is part of the chain's growing better-for-you menu offerings. Other better-for-you offerings include the brand's plant-based Impossible Panko Chicken and its low-carb, house-made LEANguini noodles.
The Backyard BBQ Chicken Salad can be found now for a limited time.
