Citing intense customer demand, McDonalds announced it was bringing back a popular low-calorie salad choice through September. The Asian Salad contains just 360 calories when served with grilled chicken and Newman's Own Low Fat Sesame Ginger Dressing. Without the chicken, it contains just 240 calories. 
According to the restaurant chain, the salad contains "premium greens, tender edamame and snow peas, red bell peppers, and sweet mandarin oranges, as well as sliced, toasted almonds." Each serving contains the equivalent of three cups of vegetables. Additionally, each salad contains 21% of your daily fiber needs, 70% of your daily vitamin C needs and 160% of your vitamin A needs. 
The salads will begin appearing on menus again during this month and will remain there until September. "The return of the Asian Salad to our menu is an example of McDonald's commitment to listening and responding to our customers' needs, by providing well-balanced and great-tasting meal choices," said McDonalds Senior Director of Nutrition Cindy Goody.
