September 25, 2013

Zoës Kitchen has added quinoa to its menu in the The Quinoa Salad.

"We are always looking for new and exciting ways to provide our guests with balanced Mediterranean meals that they can feel good about eating," said Kevin Miles, CEO of Zoës Kitchen. "Featuring the nutritional and health benefits of grains and vegetables, the staples of the Mediterranean diet, our new Quinoa Salad is a great example of our continued commitment to encouraging our guests to embrace the wholesome Mediterranean lifestyle."

Zoës Kitchen's new Quinoa Salad is made with quinoa, tomatoes, cucumbers, broccoli, fresh greens, celery, feta, green onions and light lemon vinaigrette. The new menu item is vegetarian-friendly and vegan-friendly when ordered without feta. It is also peanut, egg and soy-free, Miles said.

The Mediterranean-style Quinoa Salad has 14 grams of protein per serving and is gluten-free.
