Just Salad, a popular salad chain with numerous locations around New York have announced they’re going to celebrate gay pride this year with their latest menu addition: The Big Gay Garden Salad.
The colorful dish “is a 275-calorie vegetarian salad featuring romaine, red cabbage tomatoes, avocado, carrots, banana peppers, and croutons. $1 from each salad sold will benefit NYC Pride,” the company announced through a press release on Friday.
“From our cashiers to our choppers to our management team, the LGBT community is a big part of our company, so of course we’re happy to be supporting NYC Pride,” said Just Salad CEO and cofounder Nick Kenner. “We are proud to be able to show our customers how much we support the LGBT community.”
Kenner also announced that Just Salad would be marching with around 50 of its employees in the New York Pride March on June 26. They’ll be wearing custom-made #justproud t-shirts designed for Pride.
“NYC Pride is thrilled to be a part of this exciting promotion that will allow us to raise crucial funds to help create the largest series of LGBT Pride events in the United States,” said Chris Frederick, NYC Pride Managing Director. “With over 2.1 million expected in attendance this year, we wouldn’t be able to produce events of this scale without the support of Just Salad.”
The 47th NYC Pride March will be held on June 26 with Syrian refugee Subhi Nahas, trans HIV/AIDS activist Cecilia Chung and trans teen reality star Jazz Jennings as the Grand Marshals.
Following the Pride March Fergie will headline the 30th annual Dance on the Pier at its final year at Pier 26.
