You’ll love how easily you can make this Copycat Chick fil A Superfood Salad at home! Only a few ingredients, a couple of minutes and you can have a huge bowl all to yourself.
I am not really into fast food restaurants but one we visit often is Chick fil A. My husband likes their food, my kid love that they get to play in their play area after they eat, which is very convenient especially during winter, and I like that they offer a healthier fast-food option compared to others fast-food restaurants.
A few weeks ago we stopped by to eat lunch and we were informed that the traditional Coleslaw salad was replaced for a “Superfood Side”. Oh boy!!… My husband was super disappointed, that salad was one of his favorite sides. Thank goodness the manager was kind enough to give us the recipe to make it at home. Anyway. We overcame our disappointment and decided to give the new salad a try. And to make a long story short, ever since I tried it I’ve been obsessed with it.
This salad is very straightforward! Kale, broccollini, dried cherries, and roasted nuts. The real secret, in my opinion, is the vinaigrette. I figured I could do a few test runs to find the perfect copycat recipe of my own. So… guess what? I figured it out and it’s spot on!
You can find the Maple Vinaigrette recipe here.
Thanks, Chick fil A, for the inspiration on this one. It’s a keeper!
Happy Cooking!!!
- 4 cups kale, loosely chopped or torn
- Maple vinaigrette to your taste
- 1 bunch broccolini, chopped
- 1/2 cup dried cherries
- Roasted nuts to your taste (I used walnuts)
- Combine the kale, broccolini, dried cherries, and nuts in a large bowl.
- Add vinaigrette to the salad, and toss well. Note: I like tossing with the vinaigrette about 15 minutes before I serve it because the kale will soften in the vinagrette.
- Serve.

November 22, 2018 at 10:15 pmI was nervous to try this recipe because others like it have such different ingredients for the dressing but Guys it was totally spot on! When I tasted the dressing I was in love! For the salad I used a kale/carrot/red cabbage salad mix and added chopped baby broccoli. I used dried cranberries and honey roasted pecans. For the dressing I left the zest out but kept the other ingredients the same. Sooooo good!!! Letting the salad sit is definitely key. Thank you! It was a hit for thanksgiving and will be added to the rotation.
