 Uno Chicago Grill is introducing some "berry" special options as part of its limited-time-only fall menu. This new fall menu stars two berries: cranberries and goji berries. Goji berries are grown in the Himalayas and have the flavors similar of cherries, cranberries and raisins. They are nutrient dense and contain 18 kinds of amino acids.

These berries are being showcased in the Power Salad with Goji Mix and Dried Cranberries. The salad is healthy and only has 420-calorie with 8 grams of fiber and 2 grams of saturated fat. It combines spinach, sliced chicken breast, plum tomatoes, carrots, feta cheese, red grapes, and a 'power mix' of Thompson raisins, soy nuts, almonds, pepitas, Ocean Spray Sweetened Dried Cranberries and the goji berry.

Another addition is the Kabocha Pumpkin Soup. The flavor is sweet, similar to pumpkin and sweet potato combined, and accented with Ocean Spray Sweetened Dried Cranberries to provide color and tang to the dish.
