If you don’t eat meat, though, you might be wondering how to order vegetarian at Wendy’s. We’re here to help!
According to the online menu, there are 24 vegetarian items at Wendy’s, though you do have to make substitutions or omissions to 12 of these for them to be suitable for vegetarians. The fries at Wendy’s are fried in vegetable oil, not beef oil, so they are suitable for vegetarians. Phew!
You can also enjoy any of the salads on the menu if you remember to ask for no chicken or bacon. Watch out for hidden ingredients in the salads like the Caesar dressing, which contains anchovy, and Parmesan cheese, which is often made with animal rennet. Ask your server if you’re not sure.
