\"\"<\/p>\n

Ugh. McDonald\u2019s new Caesar Sauce makes me annoyed because it reminds me that the Golden Arches used to offer salads, like Caesar, Bacon Ranch, and a few others. And of course I can\u2019t forget about the Southwest Salad, which was my go-to when it was available. Oh, and Salad Shakers. Man, I miss those.<\/p>\n

But now there\u2019s a new Caesar Sauce with no salad to put it on. Instead, it\u2019s for dipping McNuggets and McCrispy Strips, and it\u2019s also being added to a new Snack Wrap and McCrispy sandwich. I ended up getting the Caesar Sauce with the McNuggets that came with my $6 McChicken Meal Deal, and I also got the Caesar Snack Wrap.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This sauce, sadly, doesn\u2019t have a unique name, like Nether Flame<\/a> or Special Grade Garlic<\/a>. If I were in McDonald\u2019s marketing, I would\u2019ve called it Et tu, BruDIP? Horrible name, you say? You\u2019re absolutely correct.<\/p>\n

So yes, it basically tastes like Caesar dressing. Not the kind made tableside at a fancy restaurant with a dress code, but the kind that comes out of a bottle from the grocery store. Oh, you\u2019ve never had Caesar dressing out of spite because of the silent A? Because the first time you pronounced it, you said SAY-ZER, and you could sense everyone judging you? No? Just me?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Not surprisingly, since chicken is usually included in Caesar salads, the sauce works well with the McNuggets. It\u2019s savory from the parmesan cheese, a little tangy, and has a hint of garlic. It clings to the chicken the way a creamy sauce should, and despite its strong flavors, the McNugget taste still comes through. Dipping my fries into it was also enjoyable.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I can\u2019t say the same about the Snack Wrap, though. The sauce\u2019s flavor doesn\u2019t come through as much as I\u2019d like because all the other ingredients dilute it. Though that\u2019s probably a Snack Wrap problem more than a Caesar Sauce problem. However, with the lettuce in the Snack Wrap, it was the closest I\u2019ve gotten to having a salad at McDonald\u2019s again.<\/p>\n

While McDonald\u2019s Caesar Sauce makes me annoyed for reminding me about my beloved and discontinued Southwest Salad, I\u2019ll probably order it again with McNuggets. It\u2019s a familiar flavor, but a tasty one. So now that we\u2019ve got a Caesar sauce, maybe it\u2019s time to have a Caesar salad again at McDonald\u2019s.<\/p>\n
