Bread Zeppelin is putting a twist on a classic salad by serving up a new B.L.T. Zeppelin and Bowl.
For those unfamiliar, Bread Zeppelin is a Dallas-based QSR brand known for its signature Zeppelin sandwiches, which consist of a fresh-baked baguette that's been hollowed out and filled with a chopped salad mixture. The brand's new B.L.T. Zeppelin features a brand new salad blend of applewood smoked bacon, avocado, grape tomatoes, iceberg lettuce, and housemade croutons made from toasted Zeppelin cores. Guests also have the option to add their choice of house-made dressing – though the brand recommends ranch and bleu cheese for the perfect pairing.
Available as a Zeppelin or a Bowl, the new B.LT. option can be found now for a limited time.
