Tossed hosts third annual National Salad Contest

May 19, 2010

Tossed has announced its third annual National Salad Contest. The contest, held in conjunction with National Salad Month, gives amateur chefs the chance to submit their best original salad recipe, with the grand prize winning entry to be offered as a menu choice for Tossed customers nationwide during the month of July. The contest ends at midnight May 31.

The grand prize winner also will receive a $100 Tossed gift card and a gift basket. One local winner at each participating Tossed location will be chosen and will each receive 10 free salads.

"As anyone who's entered a Tossed restaurant knows, salads are as individual as people are. We're turning our customers loose once again to offer up their own ideas for the tastiest, most original salad ever," said Eric Clark, COO of Tossed Franchise Corp.

Last year's National Salad Contest winning entry was Sugar n' Spice, a combination of romaine lettuce hearts, roasted peppers, apples, dried cranberries, croutons and blackened chicken with Tossed's own citrus chipotle dressing. The salad was designed by Ashley Moore of Franklin, Tenn.

A panel of Tossed executives will judge each entry on taste, creativity and visual appeal. Local winners will be chosen by Tossed team members.

To enter the contest, pick up an entry ballot at any participating Tossed restaurant nationwide. Suggested salads must include a recipe name. Additional contest details are provided at participating locations or atwww.tossed.com.
