LAUDERDALE, Fla., Dec. 14, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Tossed®, home of garden fresh salads, crepe wraps and sandwiches, today announced the debut of its 2011 Resolution Salad, a delectable way for people to keep their New Year's resolution to eat healthier.  Boasting just 270 calories (*without dressing) and a scant 6 grams of saturated fat, Tossed's Resolution Salad will satisfy taste buds and weight loss goals alike.

"January 1 is a day for fresh beginnings - and nothing is fresher than Tossed," said Eric Clark, Chief Operating Officer of Tossed Franchise Corporation.  "So we're encouraging everyone who is ready for wholesome, light and, most of all, delicious meals to stop by their nearest Tossed restaurant and try our new Resolution Salad.  It's the perfect way to start off the new year right."

Tossed's 2011 Resolution Salad is a captivating gourmet mix of baby arugula, red onions, fresh peppers, chick peas and Feta cheese.  The entree salad provides four grams of both fiber and protein, along with a healthy dose of Vitamin C (83% of daily value), Vitamin A (46% of daily value) and Calcium (27% of daily value) - yet does so with only 15 grams total fat and 707 mg of sodium.

Tossed recommends its signature Vinaigrette dressing (85 calories, 9 grams total fat per two-ounce serving) for its Resolution Salad.
