Daphne’s California Greek Releases Three New Summer Salads

Daphne’s California Greek is prepping for the summer season as they spotlight three salads that seem perfect as the weather warms up.

For those looking for lighter fare when chowing down at the already healthful California-inspired Mediterranean cuisine, the chain is bringing back last summer’s popular menu item: Chicken Strawberry Salad. The returning salad joins a full range including a Chicken Spinach Apple Salad and a Mango Shrimp Salad.

Here’s how the new salads break down:

• The Chicken Strawberry Salad ($8.29) features Daphne’s marinated roasted chicken and fresh sliced strawberries atop a bed of mixed greens with candied walnuts, dried cranberries, feta cheese and tossed with a tangy balsamic hummus dressing. This salad is 640 calories and is served with a choice of warm multi-grain or regular pita bread.
• The Chicken Spinach Apple Salad ($9.29) features roasted chicken, juicy red apples, fresh spinach and candied walnuts tossed with Gorgonzola vinaigrette and topped with dried cranberries and Gorgonzola cheese.  Daphne’s Gorgonzola vinaigrette is a zesty fusion of Greek and Italian flavors including apple cider vinegar, olive oil, lemon, garlic and oregano with the creamy taste of Gorgonzola.
• At less than 400 calories, the Mango Shrimp Salad ($9.29) features grilled shrimp, fresh hand-made mango salsa with a hint of smoky chipotle flavor, mixed greens and feta cheese with a balsamic hummus dressing. The new balsamic hummus dressing combines the traditional sesame, garbanzo bean, lemon and garlic flavors of hummus with a white balsamic vinegar for light, fresh taste. The salad is served with a choice of warm multi-grain or regular pita bread.
