Mcdonalds' Salads

[jmengert]

I'm paranoid about eating out, but I need some lunch options at work for when I'm super busy. I've eaten McDonalds' apple dippers because they are prepackaged--their salads are listed as gluten-free on their website, but does anyone know if they are prepackaged? I worry about CC issues with fast food places especially.

Thanks if anyone knows this!

I am not sure if they are prepackaged or not, but I have eaten them MANY times with no issues. Their Newmann's Own dressing is gluten-free, and their salads are yummy!!

The ONLY issue I had was they put the fried chicken on my salad instead of the grilled, and when I pointed it out, they were only going to take it off and change it. I told them I need a whole NEW salad because of contamination issues. They were more than happy to comply. I have never had any problems with McDonalds.

Enjoy!!

All of their chicken salads are NOT gluten free..even the grilled. The only salads that are gluten free are the casear salad without chicken and the side salad.

I have not had trouble with those 2 salads...I tried a grilled one last year because I thought it was gluten free....I was then sick for about 2 weeks.

The grilled chicken IS gluten-free, however you need to ask for it not to be cut up. The only thing that makes it NOT gluten-free is the contamination with the knife if it is cut/diced. Have them put it on the salad whole and you can cut it up yourself.

Yea the chicken itself is but the way it is prepared makes it not gluten-free.

Jessicas suggestion would work...you just can't have the normal chicken one they prepare because of how they prepare it

Also I read on the Delphi forums that in the new Apple Walnut Salad that the walnuts are NOT gluten-free so you might want to be aware of that.
