CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa. — Saladworks has rolled out the final 2008 installment of the restaurant's popular Signature Series, the company announced. The "Articado" salad was designed by Venetian chef Marika Seguso and is available beginning Oct. 15 at all 100 Saladworks locations until Dec. 30.
The salad features artichoke hearts, avocado, tomatoes, real bacon bits and seasoned croutons on a bed of spring mix topped with a balsamic vinaigrette dressing.
"The Signature Series has been a huge hit in our stores in 2008," said Saladworks chairman and CEO John Scardapane. "We're excited to end the year with a bang by offering an authentic Italian salad created by one of the best chefs in Venice."
As part of the Signature Series program, Saladworks donates $5,000 to the charity of the chef's choice. Seguso is raising awareness of "Epidermolysis Bullosa," a rare genetic disease characterized by the presence of extremely fragile skin and recurrent blister formation. Seguso's son suffers from the disease.
