CAVA vs Chopt Nutrition Compared

Change either order and watch the difference move. Compared as served, not per 100 g — portions differ between chains, and that difference is part of the answer.

Start from

What’s in this order?

One greens base, one grilled or roasted chicken, the chain's standard fresh tomato topping, one cheese and one vinaigrette at the pour the chain publishes. No grains, no beans, no avocado, no crunch, no double protein. Chopt and Just Salad both publish their menu salads without dressing, so every build here adds one the same way.
