CAVA meal planning guide

Dressings are one of the fastest ways to change a CAVA meal. The difference between a lighter yogurt-based dressing and a richer garlic dressing can be larger than many toppings, so it is worth choosing intentionally.

How to choose a dressing
If your bowl already includes avocado, feta, rice, lentils, pita crisps, or multiple spreads, a lighter dressing can help keep the total more balanced. If the rest of the bowl is mostly greens, vegetables, and one protein, a richer dressing may still fit your target.
Flavor intensity matters too. A bold dressing can make a simpler bowl feel complete, while stacking several rich add-ons can make the meal heavier than expected.
Remember sodium and allergens
Calories are only one part of dressing choice. Sodium, dairy, sesame, egg, garlic, spices, and other ingredients may matter depending on your needs. The official CAVA nutrition and allergen guide is the source to check when those details matter.
