McDonald's Asian Chicken Salad

[MBeds]

I just looked up the nutritional info on this salad and without the lukewarm chicken, it's 140 calories...Not bad...
If i didn't have a ton of salad stuff at home, i probably would have tried this today...
Maybe another day...

LOVE THEM! it comes to $5.08 including tax in NYC

I got the grilled - the chicken was warm

I love that the croutons, dressing and almonds all come in separate packs!

Wow - now I'm gonna have to try the McDonald's salad today for lunch! It sounds great. I do like the Wendy's Mandarin Chicken salad but I can't wait to try the one at McDonalds.

I love this salad. I don't even bother with the dressing because the glaze adds plenty of flavor. I also don't add the nuts since I don't really care for almonds. I think on WW w/o the dressing and nuts it's only 3 or 4 points.

I tried and LOVE this salad. Have had it twice in fact! Both times the grilled chicken was warm and was perfect that way. The chicken is SO good! I only used half pack of the dressing and half the almonds.

I tried this yesterday for the first time. I got the crunchy chicken instead of the grilled chicken. It was quite good! The chicken was slightly warm, and scored so it was very easy to cut with the plastic fork and knife. I thought it was just at the right temperature--not warm enough to wilt the lettuce, yet not chilled to the point of being as cold as the veggies.

I will certainly be ordering it again. I might try it with the grilled chicken next time.

I'm in a fight with McDonald's since they took away my Cobb salad to make room for these new ones.

DH agrees with you. He loved the McDonald's Cobb salad. He did try the Asian salad last week (after sitting in line at the drive-up window we weren't going somewhere else) and said it was good but wouldn't care for it as frequently as the Cobb.

OK, I just had another one for lunch! It was delish! The grilled chicken was warm, the dressing and salad were cold.

My boss walked by and couldn't believe it was from Mickey D's.

He just left to get one!!

I just had it! REALLY good! Thanks.

OK, my next one also had warm chicken, so I wonder if I dreamed it was cold. Funny that my first one did not have almonds -- I didn't know I was supposed to have gotten them until I got another salad. Someone mentioned croutons -- haven't had one with them yet.

I'm sorry I didn't try a Cobb now. I just don't eat at McDonald's -- at least I didn't until I decide to give the Asian Salad a try!

They actually recommended it in Shape magazine!! That might have been the first time I've seen a McDonalds product mentioned in a positive way in Shape!

I LOVE this salad! Ours is around $4.29 to 4.59 (depending on whether I buy it near my house or near work). I haven't seen it with croutons. I LOVE the almonds!
I have only tried the grilled chicken (both times). One time it wasn't scored, just a big old chicken breast that I had to attempt to carve with plasticware!

I am a huge fan of wendy's oriental salad, last time I had a Mcdonalds chicken salad I got food posioning. So I am a little leary. But, I am willing to give it a try! It does sound really good.
