New twist on a seasonal staple starts at $8.99
Applebee’s Neighborhood Grill & Bar is giving the salad a smoky twist with the launch of NEW Wood Fired Grill salads, available today and starting at $8.99 at participating restaurants. Prepared on the new American-made wood fired grills, Applebee’s is now serving new made-to-order salads that pair tender shrimp, precisely-grilled chicken and Hand-Cut USDA Choice Top Sirloin with seasonal summer ingredients and made-in-house dressings for a unique salad experience.
“Our new Wood Fired Grill salads truly stand out and offer our guests an unexpected salad that has all the best flavors of summer,” says Cammie Spillyards-Schaefer, vice president and executive chef of Applebee’s. “The bold flavors from the Wood Fired Grills are the perfect complement to the refreshing produce we typically crave in the summertime.”
Taking center stage in Applebee’s arsenal of new offerings in anticipation of National Watermelon Day on August 3 is the NEW Grilled Watermelon and Spicy Shrimp Salad, a fresh combination of grill-seared watermelon prepared with a house-made mint-Greek yogurt dressing. To celebrate this new salad and fun occasion, from July 20 to August 3 Applebee’s is inviting guests to submit their favorite salad recipes via photo or text on Twitter and Instagram with the hashtags #WoodFired and #Sweepstakes for a chance to win a $100 Applebee’s gift card.*
