Rejoice Lemon Chicken Bowl fans, your favorite bowl is coming back for another delicious summer!
Cava is celebrating summer with the return of their Lemon Chicken Bowl. To make the salad extra bright and summery, they dressed it with a vinaigrette made with our Preserved Lemon Paste.
As we are preparing for the bowl’s comeback, we can’t help but get a bit nostalgic. So, we invite you to take a peek at the BTS of a photoshoot and barbecue we hosted for the Cava team at our back yard in Brooklyn, NY last June.
Inside the Lemon Chicken Bowl
In Summer 2021, Cava released their seasonal Lemon Chicken Bowl. It was light and refreshing, yet bursting with bold Mediterranean flavors - tangy, savory, and slightly sweet, it takes you on a culinary journey. The bowl combined some of our beloved ingredients like creamy hummus, rich feta, sweet and salty pickled onions, ripe tomatoes, crunchy cucumbers, and perfectly charred chicken. The Preserved Lemon Vinaigrette ( created specifically for this salad) truly brought together the entire dish, completing a balanced, fresh, and undeniably tasty summer meal.
The heart and soul of the Lemon Chicken bowl is the vibrant, juicy, and pleasantly salty Preserved Lemon Vinaigrette created with NY Shuk Preserved Lemon Paste at its core.
When you try the bowl for the first time, with all of the components mixed together and finished with a drizzle of the vinaigrette, it’s an explosion of flavors. The response following the bowl’s release was overflowing with positive comments. In fact, it became the top-selling curated bowl of 2021 (according to QSR), even surpassing the more familiar Greek Salad Bowl! Many fans nationwide praised the brightness of Mediterranean flavors and the unique taste of Preserved Lemons. When the Lemon Chicken Bowl left Cava at the end of the season, many Cava fans were sad to see it go.
So, rejoice Lemon Chicken Bowl fans, your favorite bowl is coming back for another delicious summer!
(available nationwide from June 6 through October 2)
