The CPK new salad lineup delivers bold flavors with premium ingredients like steak, burrata, and crispy chicken dumplings.
California Pizza Kitchen (CPK) is making salads craveable again with a new menu that tosses out the rules. Available now, timed for summer, the CPK new salad lineup introduces three bold, permanent dishes that challenge the salad status quo, along with a limited-time seasonal salad inspired by the flavors of an Italian summer. Each salad is hand-crafted with premium proteins and toppings, fresh produce, and vibrant flavors that reflect CPK’s signature approach to culinary innovation.
“Building on the momentum of our recent 40th Anniversary brand refresh, we’re leaning even further into the differentiated menu innovation that has made CPK a guest favorite for decades,” said Dawn Keller, chief marketing officer at CPK. “We are boldly adding four new entrée salads to our menu, each one more inventive and craveable than the next.”
CPK New Salad Lineup: Big Flavor on a Bed of Greens
California Pizza Kitchen designed three new salads for its everyday menu. These have salad in the title but look like more than that. They include”
- The Charcuterie Salad: Your favorite snacking board, reimagined on a bed of mixed greens and fresh basil, tossed in our housemade mustard herb vinaigrette and topped with generous cuts of applewood smoked ham, salami and Brie cheese, along with cubed Parmesan, green apples, and candied walnuts. Served with house-made toasted sesame crackers to create the perfect bite.
- Crispy Chinese Dumpling Salad: This colorful appetizer-inspired salad starts with golden and crispy Chicken dumplings, which bring a warm, savory bite to the cool bed of shaved Napa and red cabbage, cucumber strips, carrots, scallions, and fresh cilantro. Tossed in our housemade honey-miso dressing with toasted sesame seeds and topped with a drizzle of Mr. Bing Chili Crisp for an extra kick.
- Steakhouse Salad: This satisfying salad is sure to please. Tender pieces of grilled filet mignon, crispy smashed potatoes, slow-roasted cherry tomatoes, red onions, and creamy Gorgonzola cheese, served over baby arugula and chopped lettuce, tossed in our house-made Dijon balsamic vinaigrette.
Limited-Time Only: A Summer Stunner
Burrata Panzanella Salad: A fresh and vibrant dish featuring rich and creamy burrata cheese atop colorful summer heirloom tomatoes, toasted garlic ciabatta croutons, crisp cucumbers, garbanzo beans, thinly sliced red onions, basil, and wild Greek oregano, served on a bed of baby arugula and fresh basil. Tossed in a lemon-herb Vinaigrette.
“Our new entrée salads are a delicious twist on the ordinary,” said Chef Paul Pszybylski, VP of culinary innovation at CPK. “Salads have always been a hugely popular category at CPK, so we’re proud to expand and diversify our menu to help guests find their newest favorite dish. You won’t find salads like these anywhere else.”
