    Probably because as relatively unhealthy as a Ceasar salad is (referring to the cheese, croutons & Ceasar dressing), it was one of the "healthiest" choices on the menu. And, let's face it, who goes to McDonald's for anything other than grease laden beef cakes? :huh:
    I get their wraps, salads and ice cream......................................along with an egg mcmuffin and a quarter pounder with cheese. :laugh:
    Just depends on what I want to eat that day when I go.

    Oops - I posted the wrong picture. That is the chicken nuggets

    Either way - pretty bad looking.

    Bzzzzt. Incorrect again!

    Want a third try?

    I like the old saying going to mcdonalds for a salad is like going to a prostitue for a hug. But thats my logic. Did not read all the posts but im sure someone beat me to it. By the way most meat processing plants have quit using the pink slime including Mcdonalds in the US anyways.

    Yeah so is this actually happening? I checked the Googles and nothing about them discontinuing their caesar salad appears.

    No, but there are articles about them trying to thin out their menu a bit.

    And the Caesar salad has been removed from their online menu and nutritional PDF.

    I haven't been able to eat it in years, but McDonald's ice cream is vastly underrated. It's delicious and a great choice for a treat for those who get a smaller amount of calories.

    That's too bad. Not a fast food person at all, but on the rare occasion I'd go to McDonalds I indeed would sometimes opt for a salad (yes people, some of us actually do like the taste of salad and chose to eat it over burgers and mystery fish). They were actually pretty decent tasting for a fast food salad.

    I can't even recall the last time I stepped foot in a Mickey D's, but I do recall being very disappointed that they no longer had those great, convenient salad shakers!

    Come to think of it, at this point McDonalds has discontinued just about the few items from there I actually liked (besides the french fries). Best burger they ever had, which was shockingly good to me, was the old Big N' Tasty. I also loved the Shamrock shake. Do they still make that? As a kid I loved their ice cream and shakes, but they changed that recipe ages ago and they're nowhere near as good. And how about the Arch Deluxe? I liked that one too.

    They still have salads on the menu. They just got rid of the Caesar.

    On the rare occasion I choose a salad, I want it to be somewhat different, and I want to feel like I'm not being royally ripped off. Ceasar Salad doesn't meet those criteria for me. I always have lettuce, a bottle of Ceasar dressing, and chicken in my fridge.

    As a huge fan of caesar salad, trust me when I say you don't know how incredible a well made caesar can be. Last month, while visiting Philly, my wife and I had a table side ceasar done fresh at Bistro Romano. So good it makes you wanna smack your momma clear across the face, and there was a lot more to it than just lettuce, a low quality bottle of processed dressing, and chicken.

    The caesar was the only salad from them that interested me.

    McDonalds has the better breakfasts, Burger King has the better Lunches if we are talking about the two big dogs in the fight. I don't eat salads at McDonalds just like I don't go to the Lobster Shack for a Steak. I'm sure there's nothing wrong with the salads but that's not why I would go there. I'll have an egg mcmuffin thank you.

    The McD's here in the Cities have a long history of going against corporate wishes.
    It'd be fun to see them keep it.
