McDonald's Southwestern Grilled Chicken Salad

This salad is better than most fast food salads because it has a variety of greeens (not just boring old iceburg lettuce). Corn and black beans are also in the salad, giving it some "oomph". I get the chicken grilled and add tomatoes to make it "jucier". I get the ranch dressing - I know that is more fattening, but it tastes so good. I only use half the packet (or less). I do not add chips and if there are any on the salad, I take them off.

This is my go-to salad at McDonald's. I ask for low-fat balsamic vinaigrette and I save myself the calories and fat of the standard dressing. It is delicious with a kick!

I have eaten this the absolute most during my lifestyle change. It's the convenient and so delicious that I enjoy it without any added dressing. I usually eat it 5-7x/week and have yet to get tired doing so.
