Seasonal Avocado Sandwiches

McAlister’s Deli's New Chicken Avocado BLT Sandwich is Here for Spring

— April 10, 2021 — Lifestyle
This spring, McAlister’s Deli is leaming into an ultra-trendy ingredient with the launch of two new dishes: the Chicken Avocado BLT Sandwich and Chicken Avocado BLT Salad.

Avocado is the star ingredient of both of McAlister’s Deli's new dishes. First up is the Chicken Avocado BLT sandwich, which features grilled chicken, avocado, peppered bacon, tomato, fresh spring mix, and a creamy avocado ranch sauce on toasted country white bread. Similarly, the new Chicken Avocado BLT Salad features marinated grilled chicken, ripe tomato, crunchy croutons, and fresh avocado, on a bed of mixed greens with avocado ranch. And if you're hankering for something sweet, there's also the new Cinnabon Mini Cookie Sandwich, which features Cinnabon signature frosting sandwiched between two sweet snickerdoodle-style cookie.
