McDonald's Salad Shakers
Stuffed lettuce and other salad fixings into a tall cup-shaped plastic container with a clear dome lid. Add the dressing of your choice, shake, and dig in. No muss, no fuss.
Just think of the possibilities: Instead of a large fries, you can get a side Caesar or Garden Salad. Instead of 450 calories and nearly half a day's artery-clogging (saturated or trans) fat, you can get no more than 35 calories and little fat.
But salads aren't just sides. Instead of a Quarter Pounder with Cheese, try a Garden Salad, Chicken Caesar, or Chef Salad. Instead of 530 calories and more than half a day's saturated fat, you get 100 to 150 calories and no more than a fifth of a day's dose. Granted, that doesn't include the dressing. But McD's offers a Fat Free Herb Vinaigrette (just 30 calories) that's surprisingly tasty. Or try the Red French Reduced Calorie dressing (130 calories and hardly any saturated fat).
