Burger King

The salad: The Tendergrill Chicken BLT

This salad, which is topped with bacon and cheese and chicken, weighs in at 350 calories, 23 g fat and 1,060 mg sodium. But load on the Kraft Balsamic Vinaigrette and you add 180 calories, 17 g fat and 420 mg sodium.

The entrée: Try a BK Veggie Burger (270 calories, 6 g fat, 740 mg sodium) along with a Side Garden Salad (25 calories, 0.3 g fat, 5 mg sodium) with the Kraft Calorie-Wise Zesty Italian Dressing (20 calories, 1 g fat, 660 mg sodium).

Hi Rhonda,
Sorry about that - we've removed the second salad option to reflect McDonald's updated menu.
Thanks for your comment!

Tried ordering the 'Spicy Thai Chicken Salad w/Grilled Chicken' yesterday, McD's (in Canada) doesn't have it on the menu anymore...so much for 'healthier' choices !
