McDonald's introduces Fruit & Walnut Premium Salad
The new Fruit & Walnut Premium Salad is part of McDonald's on-going commitment to encourage food-energy balance.
05/05/05 McDonald's, in a fashion inspired press event, announced the latest addition to the company's salad portfolio as a part of the new spring line.
The Fruit & Walnut Premium Salad includes premium fresh fruit: USDA #1 sliced apples and red seedless grapes, with a side of low-fat vanilla yogurt and candied Diamond walnuts to sprinkle on top. The new Fruit & Walnut Premium Salad is part of McDonald's on-going commitment to encourage food-energy balance.
The Fruit & Walnut Salad meets the nutrition criteria for healthy foods from Produce for Better Health Foundation (PBH), whose 5 A Day The Color Way program encourages Americans to eat a colorful variety of fruits and vegetables daily. The Salad also helps meet the daily requirements for a variety of beneficial nutrients, such as vitamins A and C, fiber, calcium, and omega-3 fatty acids.
The Fruit & Walnut Premium Salad is one of several fruit menu choices at McDonald's. It joins the recently launched Apple Dippers -- sliced, peeled apples with a side of low-fat caramel sauce as part of Happy Meal Choices, and the Fruit n' Yogurt Parfait -- strawberries, blueberries and low-fat vanilla yogurt topped with granola.
