McDonald’s Canada knows that in the summertime, a lot of us can’t even stand the sight of piping hot food, so much as stomaching it. This probably explains why they’re releasing three fresh, new salads to their menu, which will include an asian sesame fusion salad, a greek salad, and a kale caesar salad.

The salads are definitely a healthier option to the standard Big Mac, but bare in mind that those dressings do pack a bit more caloric punch than you probably assume. The salads range in calories from 250-520, depending on if you get the grilled or fried chicken. But where the calories really add up is in the salad dressing section:

As you can see, should you get a kale caesar salad with crispy chicken (520) and then use the Pure Kraft Asiago Caesar Dressing (210), your seemingly ‘lighter’ take-out meal is adding up to 730 calories! In that case, you’d almost be better off getting the Big Mac, which has 520, and also has far less sodium than the fully dressed salad.

It is refreshing to see McDonald’s adding healthier options to their menu, but don’t be fooled into thinking that you’re eating better simply by eating something green. To keep your salad clean, you could instead opt for the Balsamic Vinaigrette dressing (only 120), and then only use half the dressing as opposed to the entire packet and save yourself an extra 60 calories.
