CAVA Debuts Fresh New Mediterranean Summer Menu Items
CAVA
Leading the seasonal launch are the all-new Harissa BBQ Pita Chips, a smoky, sweet and slightly spicy twist on CAVA’s signature crunchy snack. Inspired by classic barbecue flavors but infused with Mediterranean flair, the new chips combine the warmth of harissa with familiar barbecue notes for a bold bite that’s perfect for scooping hummus, pairing with your favorite dip or snacking straight from the bag.
If you’re a fan of sweet heat, these might become your new summer obsession. And the seasonal additions don’t stop there. CAVA is also bringing back fresh, fruit-forward flavors that fit right in with warm-weather dining.
For something refreshing, there’s the new Strawberry Ginger Juice. Sweet strawberries meet bright, zippy ginger for a drink that’s light, crisp and made for hot afternoons. It’s the kind of beverage that feels equally at home alongside a hearty grain bowl or enjoyed on its own.

Salad lovers can dig into the new Strawberry Steak Salad, which combines tender steak with fresh seasonal ingredients and a sweet-tart strawberry sesame dressing. The fruity dressing adds an unexpected pop of flavor that balances savory ingredients while giving the salad a colorful summer makeover.
Seafood fans have something new to look forward to as well. Available exclusively through digital ordering, the Pomegranate Glazed Salmon Bowl features subtly sweet pomegranate-glazed salmon served with avocado, crisp vegetables and Greek vinaigrette. The combination delivers plenty of fresh textures and Mediterranean-inspired flavors while offering another protein-packed option for the season.
Whether you’re stopping in for lunch, grabbing dinner on the go or simply curious about the latest limited-time flavors, CAVA’s new summer menu proves that healthful, seasonal eating doesn’t have to be boring. From smoky pita chips to strawberry-filled favorites and a fresh salmon bowl, these new additions are serving seriously delicious vacation vibes.
