Try The New Wood-Fired Grilled Salads at Applebee's #NationalWatermelonDay

There's nothing I love during the warmer months of the year than salad.  It's very hot here in New England, as well as the rest of the country.  When it's hot outside nothing is more refreshing than a crisp and cool salad paired with a glass of iced tea.

Applebee's is everyone's favorite family restaurant grill and bar.  Sink your teeth into delicious hamburgers, salads, and sandwiches as well as fabulous lunch and dinner options.  The cocktails and drinks will keep you coming back for more.  Don't forget to end your meal with a delectable dessert that will curb that sweet tooth.  Find a location near you and stop in for dinner tonight.

If you're in the mood for salads, you're in luck.  Applebee's has recently unveiled their new wood-fired grilled salads that celebrate National Watermelon Day on August 3rd. Talking of grills, feel free to check out the camp chef woodwind grill review on SolidGoldEats!
