What Else is Vegan at Chick Fil-A?

We’ve got one vegan sauce and one not so much. But, that doesn’t help much if there is nothing to put it on. So, what else is vegan at Chick Fil-A?

Here are a few of the vegan options at Chick Fil-A:

• Cool Wrap. Order with NO chicken, cheese or avocado lime dressing (contains buttermilk). Awesome by itself or ask for one of the Vegan Dressings or Sauces below to top with.
• Waffle Fries. These are awesome with one of the vegan sauces listed below.
• Kale Crunch Side. No substitutions needed!

The cool wrap is more of a complicated order than I typically like to recommend at a fast food restaurant. In my experience, the more complicated the order, the more opportunity for your order to come out incorrect.

However, I’ve never had an issue with ordering this modified cool wrap. Never had to give a lengthy explanation of what I wanted and never had it come out wrong. Maybe I’ve just been lucky, but I’ve not had a bad experience ordering it.
