Known for bringing its diners the season’s best produce, Sweetgreen’s summertime salads feature a variety of flavor profiles and hearty options aimed to satisfy everyone’s cravings. In the Italian Chopped, customers can enjoy a mouth-watering combination of iconic Italian flavors, with slices of salami paired with spicy banana peppers and seasonal heirloom cherry tomatoes, all pulled together with a slightly sweet and acidic red wine vinaigrette.

"We’re always excited to add new ingredients to our menu that not only meet our food ethos but also deliver fresh, delicious flavors that we know our community will love,” said Co-founder and Chief Concept Officer, Nicolas Jammet. “With the Italian Chopped joining the menu, Sweetgreen customers can enjoy a new red wine vinaigrette made with avocado oil, and savory ingredients like fresh salami and pickled banana peppers.”

Sweetgreen is also continuing its expansion beyond the bowl with the addition of new sides that will take a permanent spot on the menu. A first for both brands, Sweetgreen is teaming up with Siete Foods, a better-for-you Mexican-American food brand, to create a new, exclusive potato chip flavor - SG x Siete Green Goddess Ranch Potato Chips with a Hint of Poblano - inspired by the flavor of Sweetgreen’s fan-favorite Green Goddess Ranch dressing. The crispy, crunchy and slightly spicy potato chips made with avocado oil are available in Sweetgreen restaurants nationwide, alongside Siete's Sea Salt Potato Chips also being sold in stores.
