DALLAS, April 29, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Proving guests can enjoy food that is both delicious and nutritious, Corner Bakery Cafe is debuting new real-fruit and superfood-inspired menu items, including a Quinoa & Pico Salad and a Toasted Sesame Kale salad, beginning April 29.

The gluten-friendly Quinoa & Pico Salad features quinoa, corn, black beans, tomatoes, jalapenos, onions and cilantro in a zesty lime vinaigrette. Also new to Corner Bakery Cafe's menu is a Toasted Sesame Kale salad. The healthful addition features fresh kale, shredded carrots and toasted sesame seeds with ginger soy dressing.

"At Corner Bakery Cafe, you don't have to sacrifice flavor to eat healthy," said Ric Scicchitano, Senior Vice President of Food & Beverage. "We're making salads from scratch with our more than 40 different types of produce and blending all natural smoothies to order. Our guests are getting food that's both good for them and delicious."

Quinoa provides all nine essential amino acids, which means it's a complete protein, is rich in calcium and iron, and high in fiber. A nutritional powerhouse, kale is low in calories, high in fiber, iron and calcium, and full of the antioxidants Vitamins A, C and K.

Returning to the menu is Southwest Avocado salad, featuring fresh avocado, roasted corn & tomato salsa and topped with tortilla strips. Guests can enjoy all the made-to-order salads on their own or as part of The Trio, a combination of three Homemade Specialty Salads or two salads and a cup of soup. With The Trio, guests can personally create their own meal with more than 5,000 combinations of hand-crafted salads and homemade soups.

For breakfast, lunch or as a refreshing snack, guests can drink to their health with two new smoothies. The refreshing Orange Carrot Ginger Smoothie is made from 100% fruits and vegetables. The Four Berry Smoothie is a blend of 100% real fruit, including raspberry, strawberry, blackberry and blueberry. Both smoothies deliver four daily servings of fruit, contain no added sugar, and can be enhanced with a yogurt protein boost that packs six grams of protein.
