#MODIFRY Loaded Fry Salad Recipe with McCain

While some of us see fries as a side dish, I am a serious fry lover and motivated to getting more creative in the kitchen, so I love the idea of incorporating it into the main dish! McCain was here just in time to challenge me to #Modifry my fries and create something new, delicious and easy to make!

Now, you must be scratching your head – “Salad?” you may say, but yes, not only is it healthy but our recipe here is delicious without having to feel guilty while incorporating McCain’s #Superfries 5-minute Shoestring. Even I was skeptical when I thought of the idea but the best way to think of this is as if you are enjoying a burger and fries meal, but instead its healthier and it is all blended into one dish! Also, to save time, I went with McCain shoestring superfries because they are made with real Canadian potatoes, canola oil and sea salt with zero trans fat, cholesterol free and low in saturated fat – keeping this a fresh and healthy recipe!

The crispness of the fresh colourful vegetables mixed with the mouthwatering cheese and ground beef really allow the fries to mix perfectly with the salad and combine together for a great taste.

Still skeptical? See below for the easy to prepare recipe and taste it for yourself. We are hooked!
