Houston-based Salata is celebrating the 10th anniversary of its first restaurant, which opened in Houston on Oct. 14, 2005, by adding new Texas-born ingredients for guests to add to salads and wraps, according to a company press release.

New items include:

• Pecans from the state tree of Texas.
• Goat cheese from Cheesemakers in Cleveland, Texas.
• Texas-inspired dry rub barbecue chicken, handcrafted by Salata’s team.

The chain has also launched a limeade inspired by Texas’ state plant, the prickly pear cactus, and crafted exclusively for Salata by JuicedUp Drinks in Houston, said Salata Founder and CEO Berge Simonian.

"We’ve come a long way from our first Salata location in downtown Houston, and we look forward to continuing our mission to provide fresh, healthy dining options to our growing number of guests," Simonian said. "As we turn 10, we are celebrating our Texas roots, while introducing our local products to our guests in California and Illinois as well."
