Tender Greens’ New Spring Menu Additions Will Leave You Drooling

Spring is finally here, meaning diners will see new limited-time items made with in-season produce and ingredients on menus across restaurants and eateries. Menus will introduce fresh, vibrant, homey dishes perfect for those still-cold spring nights while celebrating the season’s unique offerings with fresh and flavorful dishes.

The popular California-based restaurant, Tender Greens recently introduced new menu additions that showcase a perfect balance of wholesome ingredients and bold flavors that bring the taste of spring to your plate. The four new seasonal specials include the Short Rib, Harvest Chicken Salad, Chicken Tortilla Soup, and Pineapple Agua Fresca, and will be available at Tender Greens for a limited time, where there’s something for everyone. Let’s take a closer look at each of the new menu items.

First, the Short Rib dish offers a succulent and hearty option for any carnivore. Tender Greens’ short rib dish is braised to perfection, accompanied by “creamy mashed potatoes, charred broccolini, pumpkin seed gremolata, and grilled sourdough bread” – all of which perfectly complement the robust flavor of this tender cut of beef. With its comforting warmth, it’s just what you need on those remaining cool spring days! This special menu item is only available after 4 p.m. on weekdays and weekends for a limited time.

Go for the Harvest Chicken Salad if you’re not in the mood for something too heavy. It’s a vibrant mix of “salt and pepper chicken, juicy strawberries, crunchy almonds, radicchio, Di Stefano ricotta cheese (fancy!), and caramelized onions tossed together in a golden balsamic vinaigrette dressing” that gives this salad a sweet kick! Have it anytime during lunch or dinner to keep things light yet satisfying.

For anyone looking for a hot and hearty soup to warm themselves up, the Chicken Tortilla Soup is perfect. This soup packs a punch with its “spicy broth, tender chicken chunks, and garnishes of tortilla strips, avocado slices, and cilantro”. It’s like a warm embrace in a bowl, bringing comfort to your soul and satisfying hunger pangs.

Lastly, the Pineapple Agua Fresca is Tender Greens’ new refreshing beverage – a concoction of “pineapple juice infused with Thai basil”. Every sip delivers a burst of tropical flavor that will revitalize and refresh you. It also serves as the perfect accompaniment to any of Tender Green’s new hearty meals. It’s a great thirst quencher to get you through a warm spring day.

The fast-casual restaurant also updated its Seasonal Vegetable offering with a fresh combination of “snow peas, broccolini, rainbow carrots, and mushrooms” for those looking to add more greens to their diet. It’s a great side to pair with a hearty entrée.

"For this year’s spring menu, Tender Greens said, “Corporate Executive Chef Oliver Plust has developed each of these rich and satisfying dishes focused on seasonal ingredients with family in mind, offering a mix of familiar flavors packed with nutrition to start this season anew.”"

These new seasonal specials are only available for a limited time through June, so head over to Tender Greens and try them out before they’re gone.
