    last week I let myself have a bacon ranch salad with grilled chicken. The salad with one packet of dressing put me at 400 even for lunch. Way better than a burger and fries :) Enjoy!!

    The one without cheese or dressing is the best one. I suggest you skip it all together.

    Grilled Chicken Ceasar - it's only 190 calories and the dressing is 190 so total it's 380.

    I just fell in love with the southwest chicken salad grilled! It has a glaze and doesn't need the extra salad dressing. Its sooooooo yummy.

    Southwest Salad (grilled chicken)!!! It comes with a wedge of lime, so I always squeeze that over the salad and then I use about 1/3 of the Southwest dressing, which is amazing! It comes out to about 330 calories!

    and like I said in a previous post, if I'm good with calories for that day, I also treat myself to a sugar free vanilla iced coffee (90 calories)! :-D

    This is what I get but change the dressing to the light italian.

    Why do you have to go there?? I hope you have some serious willpower when you start to smell the fries... If you are going alone then I would avoid all together!! Good luck!

    This maybe true, but EVERYONE deserves a hug now and then. It's also ironic in this town that the McD's I go to (closest to work) is also in the "district."

    Definitely The grilled southwestern, with The balsamic dressing. Salad it about 300 calories and dressing is 35 for the whole packet. Its also really feeling. :) If you're trying to lose weight, do not eat ranch. Its packed with calories. When I quit putting ranch on everything I noticed I had way more calories to keep me satisfied throughout the day.

    Southwest Grilled Chicken Salad is my favorite! I have been using the southwest dressing putting the whole salad at 460 calories. But now I will try the balsamic and have less calories!!! :)

    I'm in love with the McDonalds salads. Maybe I'm naive or maybe it's just wishful thinking, but I really don't see why people think they're so bad. A lot of the salad dressings are high in calories, yes, but who says you have to use the whole packet? I normally only use half. I just don't see why a salad I get elsewhere or make myself at home with the same ingredients would be any different. It's veggies and a piece of grilled chicken.... I live on a farm so I'd much rather meat from here that I know hasn't been tampered with, but I do buy boneless/skinless chicken breasts from our local butcher, I have also bought them from local grocery stores... so there's no way to know if my store bought meat hasn't been "washed" to look and stay fresher.

    Please, if I'm wrong, educate me! Because I love McDonalds salads and eat them quite often.
