At Zazu, we believe that fresh, vibrant sides elevate every meal. Our Mediterranean-inspired salads and sides are crafted with the same quality ingredients and attention to flavor as our signature bowls and wraps. Perfect as a complement to your main meal or as a light stand-alone option, our sides bring freshness, balance, and authentic Mediterranean taste to your table.
The Zazu Quality Note: Every one of our house-made dips and dressings is crafted to the Zazu Standard, using 100% extra-virgin olive oil and fresh lemon—never industrial seed oils or artificial thickeners. From our signature beet hummus to our zingy garlic sauce, we prioritize clean Mediterranean ingredients to ensure every side dish is as nourishing as it is flavorful.
Our Signature Salads
Choose from a variety of salads made with crisp vegetables, house-made dressings, and classic Mediterranean ingredients:
- Greek Salad – Tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions, olives, and feta with a lemon-oregano vinaigrette
- Israeli Salad – Chopped tomatoes, cucumbers, parsley, and bell peppers dressed with olive oil and lemon juice
- Mediterranean Grain Salad – Quinoa or couscous mixed with roasted vegetables, herbs, and a light tahini dressing
Ingredient Transparency (The 2026 Edge)
Modern diners, especially in health-conscious neighborhoods like Chelsea, are scanning for specific “no-go” ingredients. To make your “Quality Note” even more credible, add a small, bulleted list or a “Quick Facts” section at the bottom of the intro:
