Nando's really knows what we want from a post-lockdown world: food, and lots of it. And that's why they've added a whole load of new options to their menu, including a incredible looking Rainbow Bowl, new sides and perhaps the nicest combo we've ever heard of, a Garlic BBQ spice. If you need a new excuse to put a Nando's date in the diary, this is it.

Clearly, over at Nando's they know what they're doing. From launching vegan PERinaise to their line-up of free parties this summer, they always seem to know what we want before we even know what we want. Which is why these new additions to their post-lockdown menu are so exciting.

First up they're introducing a whole new spice! Garlic BBQ in joining the PERi-ometer – sitting between Plain and Lemon & Herb, replacing XXHot, "giving a kick of sweet and smoky garlic to your meal."

The menu now also includes a number of new veggie and vegan options, including the new Rainbow Bowl, a crunchy Quinoa & Feta Salad, which you can have by itself in all it's glory or add in Nando’s new PERi-Plant Strips or an extra bit of PERi-PERi protein.

As for sides, please welcome to the stage the plant-based Rainbow Slaw, a fresh mix of crunchy veg topped with seeds and a tangy mustard dressing, plus the all-new Spiced Grains & Butternut Squash - a colourful bowl of wholegrains, green beans, dried fruit and a sprinkle of feta.

Nando’s also revealed plans to step up its efforts in fighting the climate crisis, aiming to become carbon neutral by the end of this year and work toward Net Zero by 2030. This will cover all aspects of the business - restaurants, grocery products, logistics, and all food sold, resulting in no net release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which is a key action in in the global fight against climate change. Nice.
