Veggie Grill Launches 'Taste The Sunshine' Summer Menu

SANTA MONICA, Calif., July 8, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Veggie Grill, the leading fast-casual restaurant concept that celebrates veggies in innovative ways, today announced the launch of nine new summer menu items.  New dishes incorporate fresh off-the-grill veggies and capture the energized and playful essence of summer with re-imagined versions of classic favorites.

The sunshine summer menu is available at all locations and offers a diverse selection of entree salads, hot sandwiches, homestyle plates, bowls, snacks & shares.  The new dishes burst with craveable summer flavors in each bite -- from chargrilled street corn to Latin-inspired succotash loaded with fresh vegetables. The limited time seasonal menu includes:

• Crispy Cauliflower – A creative twist on the trendy vegetable of 2014. Fresh cauliflower is hand-breaded, fried and tossed in a sweet/spicy orange glaze, topped with toasted sesame and green onions.
• Seasonal Harvest Salad – Fresh, chargrilled peaches, tossed with arugula and romaine, avocados, roma tomatoes, shaved beets, roasted pecans and quinoa, infused with a citrus vinaigrette.
• Grilled Portobello Skewers – Tamari-marinated, chargrilled portobello planks on a bed of quinoa pilaf, served with a Mediterranean cucumber and tomato salad, tzatziki sauce and grilled lavash. Savory and satisfying and even better when wrapped in the freshly grilled lavash.
• Latin Succotash Bowl – A flavorful bowl with a warm kick. Seasoned black beans, shaved chargrilled cob corn, avocado, tomato corn salsa, jalapenos, tortilla strips, red pepper chile sauce, stacked on quinoa pilaf with dried grapes and almonds.
• B.T.L.A – A nutritious twist on a classic favorite. This sandwich features smokey tempeh bacon, sliced tomatoes, avocado, tossed arugula, aioli mayo, on toasty sourdough with a hint of garlic and cilantro.
• Chargrilled Street Corn – Sweet corn grilled "elote" style over open flame, drizzled with southwestern mayo, soy parmesan and cilantro. Great with a squeeze of lime.  
• Black Beans + Quinoa Mini Bowl – Ideal for a lite bite. Seasoned black beans, quinoa pilaf with dried grapes and almonds, showered with a red pepper chile sauce.
• Fresh Little Salad – Like its name implies, this little salad features an arugula and romaine mix, shaved chargrilled cob corn, cucumbers, shaved beets and sliced almonds.
• Seasonal Fruit Creation – The perfect additional to any meal. Chargrilled peaches lightly tossed in agave nectar with VG crema and a dash of cinnamon.

These limited time summer items with prices ranging from $3.75 - $10.95 will join Veggie Grill's signature favorites such as the Quinoa Power Salad, Santa Fe Crispy Chickin' Sandwich, All Hail Kale Salad, Bombay Bowl, and the ever-popular Buffalo Wings. 

Since its inception in 2006, Veggie Grill has offered wholesome and tasty dishes with a variety of affordable menu options in a contemporary, fast-casual setting. Traditional hot sandwiches, burgers, bowls, plates and entree salads are re-imagined so that vegetables are deliciously enjoyed in a comforting, fun and creative way.

The nine new summer seasonal menu items were selected to enhance Veggie Grill's commitment to providing nutritious, whole and fresh foods while focusing on taste and accessibility.
