ValleyGirl Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 I'm not sure if the McDonalds in The States uses the same dressings, but the caesar salad dressing here in Canada has more fat than a medium size fries! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dang, that is terrible! I don't use the full dressing packet on salads, but geesh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiley Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 I eat both of the Chili's salads from time to time and have no remorse whatsoever. I order them with grilled chicken and then only eat 1/4 to 1/3 of the salad. The entire salad is a lot, but when split into 3 or 4 meals it isn't too bad to have on occasion. Besides, lettuce is made up mainly of water and my fill doc said I could have 2 cups of lettuce without any worries because of the water content.

trulytangledgrl Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 Holy crap! I can't believe how many calories some of those salads have! I too love the quesadilla explosion salad from chilis... what a shame. lol. Although, I don't go out to eat much anymore so I guess its not a huge loss. Its just unreal to me, though, how it could be better for you to eat french fries than a salad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
