I just went there, and had one the other day. I too, picked out the tomato and carrots, but the nutritional count said that the salad with dressing was 13 carbs....But, since we both picked out the high-carb veggies, and I only used 2/3 of the dressing I counted it as 11 carbs.

McDonalds also has those really cool adult happy meals! They include a big bottle of water any premium salad (like Bacon Ranch) and a pedometer all for around $5!

I just responded to a similar thread.

Yesterday I had a McDonalds Premium salad for lunch.

It was a bacon ranch one with grilled chicken. Of course I threw away the croutons (8g carbs) and the Ranch Dressing (9g carbs)

(so the above poster who had 2/3 of the dressing really had a lot more carbs than she thinks)

Here's the McDonald's website.

http://www.mcdonalds.com/app_controller.nutrition.index1.html

The website says it has 12 g carbs and 3 g fiber, so that would seem like 9 carbs.

Then it lists the same salad without the chicken and it is 9 carbs with 3 carbs fiber. I assume that means that the chicken has 3 carbs.

I also took a look at the Wendy's website and I can't believe it. They list Wendy's Mandarin Chicken Salad (no almonds, no noodles, no dressing)
as having a whopping 17 carbs. Can that be right?

I would think at least 17 carbs! Mandarins are high carb fruit, plus they probably come from a can and were packed in high fructose corn syrup!

Ahhh, that would make sense. Of course I had not planned on eating the little oranges, but I wasn't gonna go near that salad if it had almost an entire day full of carbs in it.

I guess without the oranges it probably is around 10 like the other salads, huh?

I guess you still can't beat hamburgers from 100% ground beef
