The Tropical Chicken Spinach Salad starts with Pollo Tropical's famous citrus-marinated, fresh, never-frozen grilled chicken, served over fresh spinach, with bursts of flavor from diced mango, fire-roasted red pepper, tasty bits of bacon, sliced almonds and thinly sliced red onion, topped with a refreshing pineapple-ginger vinaigrette.

For an easy, on-the-go option, the Tropical Chicken Spinach Wrap is grill-pressed with citrus-marinated chicken breast, fresh spinach, tasty bits of bacon, and melted Monterey Jack and cheddar cheeses, wrapped up with a flavorful cilantro-garlic sauce. It can be ordered alone or as a combo, which includes a drink and choice of one of our made-from-scratch sides, including rice, beans, yuca with garlic sauce, sweet plantains and much more.

"Pollo Tropical is all about offering fresh, healthy, hand-crafted foods with a tasty Caribbean twist," said Jeff Webb, Pollo Tropical vice president, purchasing and research and development. "Our Tropical Chicken Spinach Salad and Wrap add two new ways to enjoy our signature fresh grilled chicken."

The new items are available in limited markets. For more information about Pollo Tropical's complete menu, visit www.pollotropical.com.
