Let’s dive into what makes these organic meals a must-try, from their nutritional benefits to their perfect pairings.
The Power of Made-to-Order Salads

Exploring Zzeeks’ Salad Menu
Our made-to-order salads are a vibrant celebration of variety, flavor, and nutrition. Each is crafted to offer a perfect balance of texture, taste, and health benefits. Sourced from local Arizona farms whenever possible, our ingredients are fresh and seasonal, ensuring every organic meal is bursting with flavor.
Each salad is prepared to order, allowing for extensive customization to suit individual preferences, dietary restrictions, and flavor cravings. Below, we dive into the details of our four signature made-to-order salads, highlighting their unique ingredients, flavor profiles, and appeal to a wide range of diners.
Cobb Salad: A Protein-Packed Powerhouse
The Cobb salad is a hearty, nutrient-dense organic meal that’s a favorite among those seeking a satisfying, low-carb option. This made-to-order salad features a vibrant mix of mixed greens (romaine, spinach, and arugula), tender grilled chicken, crispy bacon, hard-boiled eggs, creamy avocado slices, juicy cherry tomatoes, and tangy blue cheese crumbles.
The base of mixed greens provides a crisp, earthy foundation, while the toppings add layers of savory, creamy, and slightly salty flavors. Finished with a house-made light vinaigrette—crafted with olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and a touch of Dijon mustard—this salad is keto-friendly and fully customizable.
What sets our Cobb salad apart is its versatility and robust flavor profile. The grilled chicken is marinated in-house with herbs to ensure tenderness and taste, while the bacon is cooked to a perfect crisp, adding a smoky depth. Avocado brings a buttery richness that balances the tangy blue cheese, and the hard-boiled eggs contribute a protein boost with a velvety texture.
Diners can customize by adding extra vegetables like cucumbers or red onions, or swapping the vinaigrette for a creamy ranch for a richer experience. With approximately 450–600 calories and only 10 grams of carbs, this made-to-order salad is a go-to for keto dieters, fitness enthusiasts, and anyone craving a filling yet wholesome organic meal. “Fresh and delicious,” says Katherine B. from Ahwatukee, who loves pairing it with a pesto chicken sandwich for a balanced lunch.
Caesar Salad: A Classic with a Modern Twist
Our Caesar salad reimagines the timeless classic as a made-to-order salad focusing on fresh ingredients and inclusive options. It starts with crisp romaine lettuce, hand-torn for optimal texture, and is topped with shaved Parmesan, house-made gluten-free croutons, and a creamy Caesar dressing crafted in-house with fresh garlic, lemon juice, and anchovy essence for that signature umami kick.
For those seeking a heartier organic meal, add grilled chicken, shrimp, or plant-based proteins like tofu or tempeh. Vegan diners can opt for a cashew-based dressing and vegan Parmesan, ensuring everyone can enjoy this classic.
The Caesar salad’s appeal lies in its perfect balance of creamy, tangy, and crunchy elements. The romaine provides a refreshing crunch, while the gluten-free croutons—made from our in-house baked bread—add a satisfying bite without compromising dietary needs. The dressing, free of artificial preservatives, offers a bold yet balanced flavor that enhances the salad without overwhelming it.
With 300–450 calories and moderate protein (15–25 grams with add-ons), this made-to-order salad is a versatile choice for a light lunch or a side to a pizza. Its vegan and gluten-free options make it accessible to a broad audience, from families with picky eaters to health-conscious diners. “The vegan Caesar is so creamy,” says Sarah G. from Tempe, “and I love adding tofu for extra protein!”
Antipasto Salad: An Italian-Inspired Delight
For those craving bold Mediterranean flavors, our Antipasto salad is a made-to-order salad that delivers a feast for the senses. This Italian-inspired organic meal features a bed of fresh mixed greens topped with premium salami, pepperoni, black olives, marinated artichoke hearts, roasted red peppers, and provolone cheese.
The ingredients are carefully selected to evoke the essence of an Italian charcuterie board, with the salty, savory meats balanced by the briny olives and earthy artichokes. A house-made balsamic vinaigrette, infused with fresh herbs, ties the flavors together while keeping the salad light and healthy.
The Antipasto salad stands out for its complex flavor profile and hearty texture. The cured meats provide a robust, savory punch, while the provolone adds a creamy, nutty note. Artichokes and roasted peppers contribute a subtle sweetness and antioxidant-rich nutrition, making this made-to-order salad both indulgent and wholesome.
Diners can customize by adding extras like banana peppers for a spicy kick or opting for a lighter dressing like olive oil and lemon. With 500–700 calories and 25 grams of protein, it’s a satisfying organic meal for meat lovers and flavor seekers. “The Antipasto salad is like a mini Italian feast,” says Lorraine P. from Chandler, praising its bold flavors and the warm community vibe at Zzeeks.
Southwest Salad: Zesty and Vibrant
Our Southwest salad brings a burst of Southwestern flair to the table, making it a favorite made-to-order salad for those who love vibrant, zesty flavors. This vegan-friendly organic meal features a mix of greens, black beans, sweet corn, creamy avocado, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and fresh cilantro, all tossed in a house-made cilantro-lime dressing that’s tangy and refreshing.
The combination of crisp greens and hearty beans creates a satisfying texture, while the avocado and tomatoes add a creamy, juicy contrast. For non-vegans, grilled chicken or shrimp can be added for extra protein.
The Southwest salad’s bright, colorful presentation and bold flavors make it a standout. The cilantro-lime dressing, made with fresh lime juice and herbs, adds a zesty kick that complements the natural sweetness of corn and tomatoes. Black beans provide plant-based protein and fiber, making this made-to-order salad a nutrient-dense choice for vegans and health-conscious diners.
With 350–500 calories and 15–20 grams of protein, it’s perfect as a standalone organic meal or a side to a spicy pizza. “The Southwest salad is so vibrant,” says Wilbert L. from Ocotillo, “and the cilantro-lime dressing is a game-changer!” Diners can customize by adding jalapeños for heat or extra avocado for richness, ensuring a personalized experience.
Each made-to-order salad is carefully crafted, using house-made dressings free of artificial preservatives to enhance the ingredients’ natural flavors.
