McDonald's Rolls Out Caesar Sauce on July 21 as Customers Renew Calls for Salads

Summary
July 21 marks McDonald’s nationwide launch of a limited-time Caesar Sauce, sold with a new Caesar Snack Wrap, Bacon Caesar McCrispy Sandwich and à la carte dip cups.
Instagram reactions quickly shifted from the sauce itself to missing menu items, with multiple customers asking what the Caesar was for if McDonald’s still does not sell salads.
McDonald’s has cycled through salads since 1986, including McSalad Shaker cups in 1999 and Premium salads after 2003, before dropping salads during the COVID-19 menu simplification.
In a 2024 interview, McDonald’s USA President Joe Erlinger said salads will not return nationally because demand "just isn't there," arguing customers want fries, value meals and hot sandwiches instead.
