With June officially underway, Just Salad has rolled out the 'Just Proud Salad.' Created to celebrate all LGBTQIA+ identities, the colorful new salad will be available until Pride Month ends on June 30th.
The Just Proud Salad is a vegetarian dish made up of romaine lettuce, red cabbage, plump cherry tomatoes, creamy avocado, crunchy carrots, and banana peppers. The rainbow-colored salad is then topped with house-made balsamic vinaigrette dressing. However, the best thing about the Just Proud Salad is that $1 dollar from each salad sold will be donated to a local LGBTQIA+ organization to promote inclusivity across the US.
Of course, Just Salad isn't stopping at one dish in its celebration of Pride Month. The chain is also a Bronze-level sponsor of NYC Pride and will be walking in this year’s NYC Pride March.
