For a limited time, Applebee’s guests can savor the new Fresh Flavors of
Summer at a great value, starting at just $9.99.
“Summer is a fantastic time to be in the kitchen because the season
delivers so many flavorful, colorful ingredients to use throughout our
menu,” said Applebee’s Executive Chef Michael Slavin. “Inspiration comes
from farmers markets, family gardens and fresh fruit off the vine. With
our Fresh Flavors of Summer menu, we’re putting the best ingredients of
the season in the spotlight.”
Among the summer ingredients Applebee’s is using at the peak of
perfection: rich, smooth avocados and artichokes, garden-fresh green
beans and red, ripe tomatoes. Citrus, buttery bibb lettuce and an
herb-filled green goddess dressing add to the straight-from-the-farmer’s
market experience.
Highlights from the new Fresh Flavors of Summer include:
-
The Blackened
Sirloin & Garlicky Green Beans is a 7oz. sirloin
rubbed with blackened seasonings and basted with lime butter served on
a bed of crispy red potatoes tossed in a tomato pesto sauce. A side of
fresh-cut garlicky green beans and chunky Roma pepper relish adds
color and flavor to this new summertime favorite.
-
The Margarita
Queso Chicken & Shrimp is layered with flavor.
Chipotle lime shrimp and grilled chicken in a cilantro lime glaze is
served over a flavorful combo of Mexican rice, white queso, corn and
black beans. Finishing it with fresh avocado, chopped cilantro and a
squeeze of lime adds the perfect amount of fiesta flair.
