Southwest Salad Mcswap
By: Lainey6605

Unfortunately, McDonald's has phased out its Southwest Salad. However, I don't have to live without it thanks to this recipe. This is supposed to be an exact replica of it for you to make at home. Feel free to take it to work in a plastic container and make your co-workers jealous. The points value for Weight Watchers is 7 points. I got this recipe from an email from the Hungry Girl web site. That's what the "HG" stands for! Enjoy! (Note: The source for this recipe cited different nutritional info than here at zaar: 350 calories, 4g fat, 720mg sodium, 39g carbs, 6g fiber, 15g sugars, 43g protein Points value 7* This is for the entire recipe, with dressing). UPDATE 4/1/08: This limited edition, seasonal salad is back! Find the super salad (which is packed with corn, black beans, tortilla strips and more) at McD's NOW thru the summer.

This tastes just like the ones at McDonald's if not better. Just love the dressing for this. A great spring/summertime salad.

This is an excellent salad! I never did try the McDonald's one so I can't compare. This is full of the good southwest taste. I really enjoyed the touch of sweetness caused by the honey mustard marinade. I did use red kidney beans cuz that's what I had on hand. I also used baked Tosititos scoops instead of the Doritos, again what I had on hand. This was so good and low in points. Made for a tasty lunch. This is a keeper. Thanks Lainey6605 for posting.

Lainey this salad was fantastic. Just like McD's salad! I didn't use the fat-free where indicated only because I had the regular cheddar cheese, ranch and sour cream. I love salads so this is going to be my new lunch for awhile. Thanks for posting.
