NANDO’S is bringing back a fan-favourite menu item last seen in restaurants four years ago.
The restaurant chain might be more renowned for its chicken, but foodies will be able to grab something a bit different within days.
Following a widespread outcry, Nando’s has decided to bring back its famous Creamy Salad Dressing for the first time since 2021.
“You read that right – Creamy Salad Dressing is coming back to steal the hearts of the nation,” the chain said.
“With superfans promising they’ll ‘never stop asking’ – Nando’s is finally answering their daily demands, and the legendary sauce will be recoupling with all UK and Ireland restaurants on Tuesday February 4.
According to Nando’s there’s been “uproar” since the sauce was removed and fans have long demanded its return.
Nando’s said: “Comments have flooded Nando’s socials for years and fans even started a Change.org petition to save the much-loved icon.
“It’s been a long time coming, but it’s finally time to put baby back in the corner sauce station.”
The popular restaurant has also teased further returns in 2025, though stopped short of revealing what those menu items could be.
It said: “And that’s not all, there’s more to come so fans should keep their eyes out for more saucy news about their one true love.”

Nando’s loyalty scheme rewards chicken fans with a host of free food – it’s no wonder the MSE team called it a “no-brainer”.
Regular diners get a chilli every time they order and spend £7 or more.
Once you hit three chillies, you get a green reward – a free quarter chicken, 3 wings or any starter.
After another three visits picking up chillies, you can get a yellow reward – a free half chicken or single burger, wrap or pitta.
Then after collecting a further four chillies you hit a red reward and can enjoy an entire chicken or meal with a regular side or salad totally free.

Normally you’d pay £5.25 for a quarter chicken, £8.95 for a half chicken and £15.25 for a whole chicken – so savings £29.45 in total.
A platter to share works out cheaper when there are several of you dining together, compared to buying individual meals.
A family platter has the equivalent of two whole chickens (it comes in quarters to share) and five large sides for £49.95, for example.
That compares to the same order as separate meals that would set you back £60.65 – it works out £10.70 cheaper.
Other platters include the boneless, full platter and wing platter, which can save you between £2 and £4 versus the individual meals.
Do remember that prices can vary depending on location, so the exact prices and savings may be different.

Every time you spend £7+ on food, you’ll be rewarded with one chilli. You can exchange those stamps for free food once you hit three, six or 10 total chillies.
When you’ve collected three chillies (£21 minimum spend), you can unlock a green reward, which is a choice of starter or a 1/4 chicken. This is worth around £3-5 in value.
Once you’ve collected six chillies (£42 minimum spend), you get an orange reward – a wrap, burger, pitta or 1/2 chicken. This is worth around £7-8.
And finally, if you make it to 10 chillies (£70 minimum spend), you unlock a red reward of a full combo meal of your choice or a whole chicken. This is worth up to £15 in value.
To redeem your rewards, simply scan your QR code when paying, or place an order using your freebie.
While the top reward is good, it takes a long time to reach it. You can only collect one chilli a day, so you’d have to eat at Nando’s on 10 separate occasions to earn enough chillies for the top reward.
It’s also difficult to spend the minimum of £7 when eating at Nando’s – meals are typically at least £10.
If you regularly dine with a partner or friend, get a rewards card each and order separately – that way, you can double your rewards and not waste your extra spends.
Once you’ve earned a reward, you have 366 days to use it
