Review: Arby's - Grilled Chicken and Pecan Salad Wrap

Arby's only-available-in-some-markets Market Fresh Pecan Chicken Salad Sandwich is now available for a limited-time (through mid-August) in a whole-grain wrap just in time for summer. The Grilled Chicken and Pecan Salad Wrap fills a whole wheat flatbread with sliced roast chicken, mayo, diced apples, sliced grapes, diced celery, chopped, toasted pecans, and green leaf lettuce.

Each wrap is available for $4.29.

The first thing I noticed about Arby's Grilled Chicken and Pecan Salad Wrap is how it was nicely wrapped with an open end and a closed end. The second thing I noticed was how cold it was; this is definitely a plus during hot weather. The wrap was a good size and had a good heft to it; I extended it into two light meals.

The flatbread is most similar to a Middle Eastern lavash bread rather than a tortilla or a pita which made it drier but still pliable. It contains a full 23 grams of whole grains. With help from the lettuce, it held up very well against the moist salad and I was able to eat the wrap with almost no mess. There was a little browning at the edge of the lettuce but it tasted fine.

Biting into the wrap, I was surprised by the satisfying crunch of the apples and nuts. The chicken salad was fresh rather than soggy although a little heavy on the mayo. The chicken was soft and moist and I could taste the distinct flavors of each ingredient.

Overall, very nice eats especially in the summer. Besides the slight abundance of mayo, I don't have anything to complain about.
