McDonald's has a new sauce coming to its menu
McDonald's has a saucy menu option coming soon: Caesar sauce.
The fast-food chain will begin offering McDonald's Caesar sauce on July 21 as a limited-time option on chicken menu items. The new Caesar sauce is described as "a creamy, garlicky parmesan blend infused with notes of lemon," according to McDonald's Menu Spotter site.
Among the menu items that can be spruced up with McDonald's Caesar sauce (prices may vary by market):
- Caesar Snack Wrap: A McCrispy Strip topped with shredded cheese, shredded lettuce and Caesar sauce wrapped in a tortilla (available nationwide for $2.99).
- McCrispy Strips with Caesar Sauce: McCrispy Strips, which the restaurant chain debuted in May, paired with the new Caesar sauce.
- Bacon Caesar McCrispy: A McCrispy filet topped with Caesar sauce, bacon, shredded lettuce, Roma tomatoes, onions and crinkle-cut pickles on a toasted potato roll.
McDonald's deal on FIFA World Cup commemorative cups
Back in June, McDonald's began offering a FIFA World Cup 26 Meal with one of nine collectible cups featuring soccer stars such as current USMNT's Christian Pulisic, Spain's Lamine Yamal, Mexico's Santiago Gimenez, French superstar now Fox analyst Thierry Henry, LAFC forward Son Heung-min, David Beckham and others – including Grimace.
To get the cups, you either ordered a breakfast meal (Sausage McMuffin with Egg or Sausage Biscuit with Egg, plus hash browns) or a lunch/dinner meal with entrée choice of Big Mac or 10 pieces of Chicken McNuggets.
However, with the World Cup coming to a close, McDonald's is giving the cups to customers free when they spend $7. Get the deal in the McDonald's app.
