5	5812	2003	The fast-food price wars have eaten into hamburger profits, but Wendy's International Inc. has found an unlikely alternative: salads. The nation's No. 3 burger chain last spring developed a salad that broke the mold for fast food. Called Garden Sensations, the new dish offered fancy lettuce varieties in deep plastic bowls, garnished with grape tomatoes, mandarin oranges and the like. In short order, sales of salads leapt to more than 10% of Wendy's sales mix, from 3% a year earlier. Now come copycat offerings from competitors ranging from Jack in the Box to McDonald's.
