Recipe developer Catherine Brookes shares a delicious and nutritious recipe for a chickpea and roasted eggplant salad. Packed with Mediterranean-inspired flavors, this salad features smoky roasted eggplant, sweet bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, and hearty chickpeas. The dish is tossed in a tangy maple and balsamic dressing and garnished with arugula and cilantro. Chickpeas provide protein and dietary fiber, while eggplants offer antioxidants and essential vitamins and minerals. This versatile salad can be served as a side dish, lunch, or light dinner, and pairs well with grilled meats, grains, or as part of a mezze spread.
Mediterranean restaurant chain Cava has filed for an initial public offering (IPO) after seeing a 12.8% rise in revenue in 2022. The company, which models its build-your-own Mediterranean meals after Chipotle's formula, plans to trade on the New York Stock Exchange using the ticker CAVA. While Cava's regulatory filings showed it still is not profitable, its net loss during the 16 weeks ending April 16 was just $2.1 million, narrower than its net loss of $20 million during the year-ago period. The company has 263 locations open as of April 16 and plans to open 34 to 44 new units by the end of the year.
