The McDonald's Menu Hack For An Affordable Chicken Salad
By Alexander Billet
Although McDonald's removed salads from its menu during the COVID-19 pandemic, some local markets still serve them. If you're in one of those areas, try this salad hack.
Instead of a full-sized salad, order a side salad and a McChicken sandwich without the bun and extra lettuce, leaving you with a chicken patty, a lot of lettuce, and mayonnaise.
Chop up the chicken patty, then add it and the lettuce to the salad for a budget-friendly chicken salad. You could also order the whole sandwich and use the buns for extra bread.
This hack also works with a Quarter Pounder with Cheese Deluxe, a Deluxe McCrispy chicken sandwich, or the Spicy Deluxe McCrispy, which will give you dressing with some heat.
