Pret A Manger Introduces WonderFall Menu, Embracing the Flavors of Fall

NEW YORK, Sept. 20, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Pret's WonderFall Menu features a variety of 15 new and returning products, including a guest favorite, the Fall Harvest Salad. The seasonal menu offers a range of salads, sandwiches, soups and three-barista prepared drinks, all prepared in Pret shop kitchens using natural, ethically-sourced ingredients.

Headlining the WonderFall menu is the return of Pret's popular Fall Harvest Salad, this year with a charitable component. The Pret Foundation, Pret's charity, will donate $1 from every salad sold to the food rescue organizations that collect Pret's unsold food every night to feed the hungry. In New York the salad is named the City Harvest Salad, in support of Pret's longstanding food rescue partner, City Harvest. The donations from the salad will be collected from September 19 until Thanksgiving, and are expected to surpass $75,000 – enough to feed over 3,200 families in need for a month.

The Fall Harvest Salad features chargrilled chicken, diced Gala apples, creamy ricotta, candied pecans, roasted butternut squash and shredded beets over a bed of mesclun greens.

"For over 17 years, Pret and our charity, The Pret Foundation, have supported local food rescue organizations in the cities we operate in in the US. It makes us proud that the food we freshly prepare in our shop kitchens each day is not only enjoyed by our customers, but is donated to those that need it once our shops close in the evenings. Without partners like City Harvest, this would be very challenging for us to do," says Jo Brett, President of Pret US.

In addition to the Fall Harvest Salad, Pret's WonderFall menu includes the following seasonal items:

• Balsamic Chicken & Dijon Brussels Sprouts Balance Box: Chargrilled chicken (antibiotic-free), roasted butternut squash, Dijon Brussels sprouts, beet hummus, and a brown rice, red quinoa and chickpea grain mix, served over fresh spinach and paired with a balsamic dressing.
