I'm trying one of McDonald's Asian Salads now, and I have to say, I
really enjoy it.  It's a nice balance of salad greens to "stuff", and
stuff is pretty tasty.  The orange-glazed chicken has a nice flavor, and
it's surprising and very cool to find edamame (green soybeans) outside a
Japanese restaurant.  According to their website info this salad, with
dressing, comes to just at 380 calories, so it's a decent choice as is.
The almonds do come separate, and you could leave off the dressing,
which would bring the total to more like 230.

  I know that some people consider McDonald's to be evil incarnate.
After all, isn't that what Morgan Spurlock says in "Supersize Me"?  But
still, I have to give them credit for trying, and for delievering a
pretty tasty, satisfying salad that doesn't have to wreck one's attempts
to eat better.
