YOUR NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTION IS HERE!

Tossed Unveils Resolution Salad, Offers Fresh Start to 2009

As January creeps closer, many Americans are already mapping out their plans for 2009. Whether it’s hitting the gym every day, recycling or reconnecting with past acquaintances, everyone has at least one thing they want to improve upon. Thankfully, Tossed – the Fort Lauderdale-based upscale, quick-casual restaurant focusing primarily on customizable green-leaf salads – has the answer for those who want to focus on healthier eating: From January 1st through March 1st, the chain will debut the Resolution Salad to start 2009 off on the right foot.

The Resolution Salad is comprised of a mix of romaine and baby rocket (arugula) lettuces, mandarin oranges, carrots, chopped tomatoes, jicama and sugar snap peas, all of which are topped with a strawberry balsamic dressing. According to Eric Clark, Tossed’s chief operating officer, the salad clocks in at 210 calories with nine grams of fat and is fresh, flavorful and the perfect addition to Tossed’s already extensive menu.

“The Resolution Salad is a burst of fresh flavor. It is not only delicious but has a great nutritional profile that’s a healthful addition to any diet,” said Clark. “And for those aiming to kick off the new year with a fresh approach to dining, what better place to start than with the Resolution?”

Tossed at Legacy Place – 11290 Legacy Ave. in Palm Beach Gardens – will introduce the Resolution Salad with a bang: a Free Salad Day on Wednesday, January 7th. From 11 a.m. until 2 p.m., Tossed will offer a full-size Resolution Salads to each customer who attends this event. Tossed will also be collecting donations for Deliver the Dream, a non-profit organization that provides retreats for families experiencing serious illness or crisis.

Founded in 1998 in New York City, Tossed focuses on salads tossed to order in front of customers who choose from a selection of chef-inspired specialty salads or design their own from a diverse menu of high-end ingredients. The menu also features sandwiches, melts, crepe wraps, soups, smoothies and desserts. Tossed currently has 13 locations and a growing presence in major U.S. cities including New York, Boston, Houston, Atlanta, Nashville and South Florida.
