Potbelly is making its iconic 'A Wreck Salad' easier for fans to order by making it an exclusive Underground Menu offering.

Back by popular demand, Potbelly's A Wreck Salad is now available via the Potbelly app as part of the brand's mobile-exclusive Underground Menu. The hearty salad features a combination of [hand-sliced turkey breast](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pastrami-salad), hickory smoked ham, savory salami, Angus roast beef, pieces of Swiss cheese, diced hard-boiled egg, crisp cucumber slices, and grape tomatoes, all served on a bed of fresh field greens. The salad is then topped with a creamy buttermilk ranch dressing to tie all the ingredients together.

To celebrate the return of the salad, now through January 7th, customers can get a free entrée on their next order when they try [any salad](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/entree-salads) as a member of [Potbelly Perks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/potbelly-jalapeo-popper-chicken-sandwich).
