Copycat CAVA bowls with lemon herb tahini & date balsamic vinaigrette

I would eat Mediterranean dishes every single night if I could, and my favorite way is definitely loaded up with all the toppings! Many of the ingredients are refreshing and nourishing, and I feel quite satisfied after a meal.

While Will and I love to grab CAVA when we’re traveling, just one of these bowls eating out costs $15+. If you’re a fan like us, you can enjoy this delicious meal at home for a lot cheaper. Plus, you’ll know every ingredient that goes into it.

Whether you want to eat off of these at-home Mediterranean CAVA bowls for multiple days or you’re hosting a crowd, this recipe serves 6 and can easily be scaled to accommodate everyone at your table.

Though there are multiple components — including 2 delicious dupes of our most loved CAVA sauces— a lot of the cooking happens without a lot of hands-on time.

My favorite part is that there is so much nourishment, all loaded into one bowl — pickled red onions to support a healthy gut, roasted chicken to support lean to support balanced blood sugar, roasted veggies for a generous source of fiber, and leafy greens for plenty of micronutrients.
