CAVA’s new Greek Goddess dressing, a tangy\nblend of rich Greek yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, herbs, and spices. The new\ndressing serves as the crowning touch on two new curated bowls, bringing a\nfresh twist to CAVA’s Mediterranean menu.\n\nMeet the Greek Goddess Lineup\n\n\n * Greek Goddess Salmon Bowl: A colorful and satisfying bowl with a creamy green\ndrizzle. CAVA’s Glazed Salmon is served over saffron rice and arugula with\nred pepper hummus, traditional hummus, pickled onions, fiery broccoli, sumac\ncabbage slaw, and the new Greek Goddess dressing.\n\n * Greek Goddess Steak Salad: An epic mix of greens, grilled steak, and bold\nMediterranean flavor. Grilled steak is served over Power Greens with\ntraditional hummus and tzatziki, plus tomato + cucumber, sumac cabbage slaw,\nkalamata olives, feta, pita crisps, and Greek Goddess dressing.\n\n * Pomegranate Apple Drink: Move over pumpkin, apple is the star flavor of fall\n2026. This seasonal drink balances slightly sweet and tart flavors in a\nvibrant red sip that’s made for crisp fall days, peak foliage, and\napple-picking adventures.\n\nThe new Greek Goddess dressing is CAVA’s Mediterranean twist on a classic\ngreen goddess dressing, delivering a tangy, herby flavor that pairs\ndeliciously with glazed salmon or grilled steak. CAVA superfans may even\nrecognize the flavors from the brand’s Greek Goddess dip sold in grocery\nstores, which inspired this new format reimagined for bowls and pitas in\nrestaurants across the country.\n\n“Our menu is inspired by the Mediterranean tradition of bringing together\nbold flavors, vibrant ingredients and food that leaves you feeling as good as\nit tastes. That balance may feel like a Greek myth, but its core to how I grew\nup, and the Mediterranean way has been proving it true for centuries,” said\nTed Xenohristos, Co-Founder and Chief Concept Officer of CAVA. “Our new\nGreek Goddess dressing gives guests another way to enjoy the ingredients they\nalready know and love.”\n\nA Taste of the Mediterranean, Set in Stone in NYC\n\nThe Greek Goddess is also making her mark beyond the menu. Tomorrow, CAVA will\ntransform Flatiron Plaza into a modern-day ode to ancient Greece with an\nactivation that’s truly set in stone. Passersby can also get a taste of the\nnew menu, sampling CAVA’s Greek Goddess dressing paired with fan-favorite\npita chips and the seasonal Pomegranate Apple drink.\n\nThe Greek Goddess may be holding court in Flatiron Plaza, but her reign\nextends far beyond NYC.
