Corner Bakery recently held an event for Chicago media and local food bloggers to unveil several of their new menu items as part of a push for healthier items, they prepared a number of soups, salads and smoothies for the crowd. 
My favorite was a kale salad with a toasted sesame dressing. The test kitchen chef let everyone in on a little secret….warm the dressing up just a bit and pour it on the salad. It’ll slightly wilt the kale greens, open them up a bit and help the dressing adhere better.
There was also a quinoa salad made with a corn and black bean salsa. It was so simple and delicious, I ended up making my own version of it that weekend.
Rounding out the menu are a couple of all-fruit smoothies. If you’re interested, they have a press release with all of the menu item details.
They also provided $100 in Corner Bakery gift cards for bloggers to give away on their site. This is the first of two giveaways for a $50 gift card so that you can go and sample the new menu!
