Calories in Applebee's Pecan Chicken Salad?

Hey, not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I was just wondering if anybody knew the calories in Applebee's Pecan Chicken Salad?  I've searched around and can't find anything, and their website doesn't have any nutritional information for anything other than the Weight Watchers food.  Any help would be appreciated.

No one?

Did you already eat it? Could you estimate the ingredients and add them together?

The glazed pecans, cheese, pecan "crust" and cranberries don't sound encouraging, though! (for low calories)

These are the ingredients from what I remember from the last time I had it:

• Romaine lettuce
• Pecans
• Chicken with a crispy (similar to a chicken finger crust) crust
• Dried Cranberries
• Feta Cheese
• Mandarin Oranges
• Celery
• Balsamic Vinigarette 

I would estimate it at about 550-600 calories

Hmmm, okay thanks!

Not sure about Applebee's but I've enjoyed Arby's pecan chicken salad a lot so just checked their web site and -----  look out -----  406 calories.  They are generous with the serving but I can't guess how large it really is. 

Applebee's has some information here:

This salad isn't mentioned, but maybe it's comparable to some fo their other ones.

"PECAN CHICKEN SALAD

Golden fried chicken atop a delicious bed of mandarin oranges, sweet-glazed pecans, celery, dried cranberries, romaine lettuce and feta cheese crumbles—all tossed with balsamic vinaigrette."  

Based on the picture from the web site and the amount of FRIED chicken, sugar coated pecans and feta cheese, I'd say you're look at least 1000 calories... more if you put dressing on it.   Fried chicken on a salad is never good.

Ok I'm not trying to scare you but I read an article about Applebees salads and a few other chain restaurant salads and the news is not good.  For example  the steak salad at Applebees has 1,191 calories in it and 75 grams of fat!  FOR A SALAD.  So honestly,  I imagine the fried chicken salad with pecans is about that much as well.  Be careful of ready - made salads at restaurants.  Just because it starts with a healthy pile of greens doesn't mean it's always healty.  Toppings like cheese, nuts, etc increase the calories sooo much more than we realize sometimes. 

Just be careful!

Ruby Tuesday's has something called Carolina Chicken Salad.  It hink it's similar.  i just about keeled over when my son looked it up on their website and it has about 1100 calories.  I was figuring about 500 or so....

You might check there to see if the description is similar enough to be comparable.

 Yea - I've stopped going to Ruby Tuesday's because a lot of their items that would appear healthier turn out to have 1,000+ calories. I didn't know until the last time I went with some friends of mine who work there and they were like uhh..you know that has 1300 calories in it don't you?? for a dish with grilled chicken and broccoli? puhhleeease!
