Bruegger's Says "Buon Appetito" with New Menu Item, Sun-Drenched Tomato and Bagel Salad
For a limited time only this summer, Bruegger's is offering a unique Italian inspired salad to its bakeries- the Sun-Drenched Tomato and Bagel Salad.

BURLINGTON, VT, July 10, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- For a limited time only this summer, Bruegger's is offering a unique Italian inspired salad to its bakeries- the Sun-Drenched Tomato and Bagel Salad. In the tradition of a panzanella or bread salad in Italy, the new menu item captures the traditional Italian flavor but with an unexpected twist -- Bruegger's Rosemary and Olive Oil bagel pieces.

The Sun-Drenched Tomato and Bagel Salad, available July and August in participating bakeries,
is made using only the freshest ingredients including fresh tomatoes, roasted red peppers, crispy lettuce, Asiago cheese, Bruegger's fresh-baked Rosemary and Olive Oil bagels and a new sundried tomato vinaigrette dressing. Guests can also add grilled chicken.

"In Sienna, Italy, I learned firsthand how fresh-baked bread is used to add flavor to dishes like panzanella," says Bruegger's Executive Chef, Phillip Smith. "The addition of our authentic bagel adds a little fun."

Like all Bruegger's salads, the Sun-Drenched Tomato and Bagel salad is tossed to order. Guests can also make their own healthy salad creation using fresh ingredients and a variety of dressings including Lite Balsamic Vinaigrette.

"We love bringing new menu items to the table for our guests to try," said Bruegger's CEO Jim Greco. "The Italian bagel salad is a perfect combination of a healthy offering with great flavors."

The Sun-Drenched Tomato and Bagel Salad joins a growing menu that includes the company's signature sandwiches and paninis introduced in early 2009. The new line of sandwiches is served on fresh-baked bread and features exceptional flavors such as the Turkey Toscana and Tarragon Chicken Salad.
