Perhaps if they didn’t charge extra for a second packet of dressing.

The only place i eat a salad is home since you can get some nasty sickness from unwashed or left over salad.

I like salad during the summer. Nice and light when its too hot for much else.
I have a crapload of spinach growing for salads this summer.

I have an old recipe that has sugar in it. Awesome. I think it’s called buggy dressing.

You go to a hamburger joint for a hamburger.
True. IIRC, sometime in the 1990's they offered pizza which flopped. A lot of time when you go out of your niche, you don't succeed. McDonald's to me means hamburgers and variations thereof although there are a few sides like the Filet-O Fish and Chicken McNuggets.

Ahhh . . . but when McDonalds started with the salads they gave a different rationale.
They offer salads so as to not be disqualified when a group of people go to eat together. It might be worth taking the hit on the salad if they sell a Big Mac, chicken select, a Quarter Pounder with cheese, and fries and drinks all around.
Similar rationale for restaurants that are open on Monday and Tuesday, even when they lose money. They have to be there on Monday or Tuesday or the customers who were disappointed won’t come back the rest of the week.

I wouldnt buy anything from McDonalds even if there was nothing else to choose from. The McWraps are very good. Give one a try.
To: SMGFan
You can easily sell burgers that have been reheated but salads can’t be revitalized so trash can city.

For me, its the price Me too. We go to Wendy's and buy the dollar burgers and a small chili and put some of the chili on the burgers (or on the salad or the baked potato) and it's yummy stuff at a nice low price.
To: SMGFan
Hard to scarf down a salad while driving down the road. Maybe they could blend it and put it in a cup.

When you think of eating at McDonalds, salad doesn’t pop into your head.

I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the quality of McD salads.
That being said, when you go to the Golden Arches, it’s for French fries.

They dropped my Angus Mushroom & Swiss in my area & I'm not a happy camper!Same here in SoCal. It was a pretty decent burger.
