I cannot believe I'm doing a TILT about food. But there you have it.
Has anyone tried the McDonald's Grilled Chicken Bacon Ranch Salad?
Oh, ya'll (this might become a familiar expression for TILT).
Wednesdays are really busy days for me. Between work, church, and shuffling Princess to and from speech therapy, lunch is often grabbed on the road. And since I do try somewhat to watch what I eat, I decided to try this salad one day.
It. is. amazing.
First of all, I can't believe McDonald's has greens that are so fresh. I'm still mind-boggled by it and I keep waiting for the ruse to drop and one day I get a bowl full of soggy brownish leafy things.
Hey, if I wanted that, I'd look in my crisper drawer.
Also, for any of you on Weight Watchers, this salad is only 5 points. If you scrape off the bacon bits like I do (I don't trust any bacon but my own) it drops to 4 points. And I substitute the ranch for the low-fat Italian, which is delicious on the grilled chicken. Throw in one of McD's special $1 drinks (which I think is a summer special only), and I've got a great meal for just over $5.
I absolutely love this salad. And it's taken some of the sting away from not ordering fries (I could devote about 10 TILT posts to McD's fries... but I won't... at least not any time soon... I do have my dignity to consider).

Could not be more with you on the McDonald's fries. They are THE BEST!!! But I am excited to try this salad. I am always looking for something healthy at good old Micky Ds.
I'm very bitter that they aren't honoring the $1 drink promotion in my area. Something about being a tourist trap...um...i mean town.
The salad sounds delish! :) I'm not sure how you have the will power to walk in and order anything but a burger and fries though. The salad must REALLY be good!
Yum!
I'm a fan of the southwest chicken salad myself, but I'm happy to give this one a try.
Hmmm. Maybe a McD's playdate today at lunchtime....
Hm this sounds good, wonder if we can get it w/o the cheese??
I'll definitely be trying this the next time I take the kids for a treat to McD's! But I'm with you on the fries...yum.
I'm so happy that fast food chains are finally offering some pretty tasty salads nowadays. When you have to resort to a drive-through, it's so nice to be able to get something somewhat healthy! I'm partial to the Asian salad myself (love that edamame), but I'll have to give this one a try next time we are there!
