McDonald's Plans to Continue Healthy Focus
Executives on Wednesday credited the performance to new menu options, later hours and better customer service, such as cashless payment options.

McDonald's rolled out a new fruit and walnut salad in U.S. restaurants last week and has introduced more salads in Europe as well as items such as chicken flatbread and fruit smoothies, President and Chief Operating Officer Mike Roberts said.

Next week it plans to introduce Paul Newman's brand lowfat Italian dressing and, later this year, premium chicken sandwiches and a stronger new coffee blend.

7. continue?
Who knew they had ever started? I have not eaten at a McDonald's for at least 20 years - their "food" is awful.

8. their salads are pretty good
I can't eat wheat, so I hadn't been in a McDonald's in years. But I was desperate to eat one day, and knew that the other choices where I was were very limited. The salad was fresh and crisp, the greens were young and tender, there were no croutons, and the salad dressing had Paul Newman's face on it. I would definitely eat there again.
