The Heartii Salads lineup, available at participating Freshii locations across Canada, includes the Habibii Salad, BBQ Chicken Salad and a redeveloped Kale Caesar.
The menu expansion combines vegetables and protein in three different salad offerings, including a plant-based option and a higher-protein version, according to the company.
“Today’s guests want meals that are nutritious, satisfying and unique,” said Chef Jason Baker, director of culinary at Freshii. “These new Heartii Salads deliver bold flavours, wholesome ingredients and hearty portions that make them a satisfying option for lunch or dinner.”
The Habibii Salad is a plant-based offering featuring falafel, spicy roasted broccoli, crispy chickpeas, cherry tomatoes, beets, cucumber, roasted sweet potato, red cabbage, pickled red onion, romaine and kale. It is served with a pesto vinaigrette.
