The fast-food joint is bringing back their cult-following '90s classic – the Taco Salad.

The salad starts with a bed of lettuce, and is topped with Wendy's signature chili, chopped tomatoes and shredded cheese.

Perhaps the best part about the item is that the rest is completely customizable, or as Wendy's says: "Anything on the salad is your call!"

Chips, sour cream, extra cheese? If your heart desires it, they'll make it for you.

Vice President of Wendy's brand marketing, Carl Loredo, said in a press release this morning:

"Wendy's Taco Salad is an all-time classic and, over the years, fans of the original have asked if we'd ever bring it out of retirement. We love how nostalgic and passionate our loyal Taco Salad fans are and look forward to introducing it to a new generation of fans with the same build and quality ingredients"

The salad is offered in two sizes, a full-sized bowl for $5.99 and $3.99 for a half-sized salad.
