McDonald's recently transformed a popular salad into a hearty sandwich as part of its effort to cater to health-conscious consumers. Packed with fresh veggies and the option to choose between crispy or grilled chicken, the new sandwich is a healthy alternative to some of the chain's more indulgent dishes.
The new Chicken Caesar Salad Sandwich takes all of the ingredients from a Caesar salad and adds them to a hearty chicken burger. Along with a grilled or crispy chicken patty, the new sandwich also includes fresh veggies, shaved parmesan cheese and Caesar dressing. There is also a lighter wrap option available, which includes tomato, cucumber and leafy greens in addition to the traditional Caesar salad toppings.
The fast food spin on the Caesar salad is currently available in the New York Tri-State region as part of McDonald's seasonal menu.
