US fastfood company Subway Restaurants is to offer four new salads, including two that have been endorsed by Atkins Nutritionals.
The Classic Club Salad, which is “Atkins-Friendly”, has nine grams of net carbohydrates and contains lettuce, baby spinach, onions, cucumber slices, green pepper strips, black olive slices, slices of savoury turkey breast, ham, shredded Monterey cheddar cheese, diced egg, bacon bits and carb-controlled ranch dressing.
The Grilled Chicken and Baby Spinach Salad, also Atkins-Friendly at six grams of net carbs, is made with baby spinach, onions, all-white meat chicken breast strips, shredded Monterey cheddar cheese, diced egg, bacon bits and topped with Atkins Sweet as Honey Mustard dressing and garlic flavoured almonds.
The introduction of carb-controlled salads marks a continuation of the partnership between Subway and Atkins Nutritionals that started in December 2003 with the introduction of two Atkins-Friendly Wraps.
