  • Nando's

    Hi all

    I'm just checking out their site for the UK and they say that the Chicken Salad has no carbs. I thought that salad had carbs which made up our good carbs?

    I'm confused!!

    is the chicken not ok? :look
    do they add something? I think chicken salad should be ok... and just ask to have without any condiment and you'll add it by yourself.

      Chicken is fine, it has no carbs but the lettuce, tomatoes and cucumber, or whatever they put in the salad should add up to some sort of carb count?

        Maybe its the chicken salad made with diced chicken and mayonnaise. Nando's is great. They have a few in Toronto, and it makes for a nice change from the regular fare. I love the chicken kebobs and you can have a side Caesar salad without the croutons. Watch out for the conidment sauces, many have sugar in them.

          yep exactly. so you can ask the salad without condiments and you add them by yourself! like oil and whatever you like

          I have such fond memories of Nando's There was one close to work and many times we went there for dinner with my co-workers! We had much fun! And a lot of sangria... I must add :look
          So are you still a "spring chicken"??
          I am not anymore *grins*

            We have a fast food restaurant here that tries to claim their salad's are zero carbs. Nope, it is not possible, you are right, lettuce, tomato's etc all have carbs. It is just plain false advertising!
