True Food Kitchen has launched the 'SZA CZA Salad,' a new dish created in collaboration with Grammy Award-winning artist SZA. This innovative take on the classic Kale Caesar Salad will be featured on the 2025 menu at all 46 True Food Kitchen locations. The salad is designed to be seed oil-free, reflecting the restaurant’s commitment to offering nutritious, flavorful meals that cater to health-conscious diners.
The partnership emerged after SZA expressed interest in bringing back the salad during a seasonal menu update. Moreover, "proceeds from the SZA CZA Salad will benefit SÜPRMARKT, a Los Angeles-based nonprofit focused on food equity and community support."
The salad includes ingredients such as "organic kale, cherry tomatoes, avocado, scallions, rosemary garlic croutons, shaved parmesan, and Caesar dressing, prepared without seed oils, maintaining True Food Kitchen’s focus on healthy and wholesome dining."
