Featured Dish: Watermelon “Poke” Salad (It’s Vegan!)
Say hello to summer’s most unexpected superstar: our Watermelon “Poke” Salad. Perfect for hot days, this dish takes crisp, juicy watermelon and transforms it into a plant-based, Mendo-style riff on a tuna poke salad. Bright and bold, it combines the sweetness of ripe watermelon with zingy ginger ponzu dressing. Topped with a bit of creamy sriracha mayo to compliment the crunch of the crispy rice, this salad is refreshing, flavorful, and the ultimate cool-down to soak up the summer sun.
Returning Fan Favorites
We couldn’t resist bringing back some of our all-time favorites that embody the best summer has to offer:

Sweet Peach and Goat Cheese Salad
This one’s summer in a bowl! Colorful, satisfying, and fresh, it combines our award-winning marinated goat cheese, luscious peaches, housemade hot peach honey, and tender chicken breast. Light, bright, and totally satisfying.
