Have any of you been to Applebee’s? This is one of my favorite restaurants to go to. They always have great food at good prices too. I love being able to try out something new each time I go there. Did you know that they now have these wood fired grill salads?! They have a variety of them to choose from too.

Starting at $8.99 at participating restaurants, the new Wood Fired Grill Salad lineup includes:

  • NEW Southwestern Steak Salad: Hand-Cut Wood Fired USDA Choice Top Sirloin Steak paired with chimichurri, pico de gallo, corn and black bean salsa, cheddar, crispy tortilla strips and a creamy house-made cilantro ranch dressing.
  • NEW Grilled Watermelon and Spicy Shrimp Salad: Mixed greens, cucumbers, feta, almonds and house-made creamy mint-Greek yogurt dressing. Also available with Spicy Blackened Chicken.
  • NEW Spicy Blackened Grilled Chicken, Avocado and Grapefruit Salad: Mixed greens, pickled in-house red onions, cilantro leaves and house-made champagne vinaigrette.
  • NEW Crispy Chicken ‘N Spicy Cornbread Salad: Mixed greens, made-in-house jalapeno cornbread croutons, grape tomatoes, shredded cheddar, applewood-smoked bacon and buttermilk dressing.

I went to Applebee’s over the weekend and I chose to get the Crispy Chicken “N Spicy  Cornbread Salad. I have to say that this salad was amazing! It was way bigger than I expected too.  The chicken was so good and the cornbread was better than I imagined. I love that it was on the spicier side too. I love a bit of a spice with my foods. I ended up taking some of it home. When I got home, my husband ate the rest of the salad! We both really enjoyed it a lot.

Almost anytime I go to Applebee’s I end up getting an appetizer. The onion rings are my favorite, so I got those this time. That’s what I normally get as well. I love them with the bbq sauce they come with. These are seriously the best onion rings ever! They’re a big size too, which is great! I love how crispy these are as well. My favorite kind of onion rings are always crispy.

I hate taken my father out to eat at Applebee’s along with my children. My father ordered the ribs and one of my daughters got grilled chicken and the other got a cheeseburger. My father loved his ribs. I even tried a bite of them and they were amazing! I’ve always loved ribs, and these ones were so delicious!

My daughters enjoy going to Applebee’s. They love all the food as much as I do. My youngest daughter, Tesla, loves the grilled chicken. Every time we go to Applebee’s, that is exactly what she orders. I don’t think I’ll ever get her to try something different. She sure loves it!

I wish I could have tried out all the salads, but I know I’ll be trying some of the others out when I go to Applebee’s again. The one I had sure was delicious! I love grilled foods, so I know I’ll enjoy their other items on the grilled menu as well.

Did you know it’s NationalWatermelonDay today? Check out your local Applebee’s and sample one of the new salads. Also, from July 20 – August 3 you can enter for a chance to win a $100 gift card to Applebee’s by submitting your favorite salad recipe to the Applebee’s Twitter or Instagram using the #WoodFired hashtag or your best #WatermelonSmile (use the fruit to make a smiley face.)

I hope that you are all able to try out some of these grilled salads sometime at Applebee’s. I’d love to hear about what you think of them if you have tried them before.

    We have always loved Applebee’s. Those salads look absolutely amazing. My husband worked at Applebee’s for a long time and his brother and sister did too. It’s a family favorite but we haven’t been in forever….now I’ll be craving it!

    Applebees is one of our favorite places to go for a date night. Grilled watermelon…that’s new! I think of all the new salads you listed, I’d be most interested trying the Spicy Blackened Grilled Chicken with avocados and grapefruit. I love all the components, although I’ve never tried grapefruit with a salad before!
