Fun Fact: I worked on the sweetgreen marketing team for 3.5 years, and helped them launch in the Boston market. While I have many fond memories working at an exciting startup for my dream company, one of my favorite perks was my daily salad fix.
True story: I named the Harvest Bowl. My go-to order? When I wasn’t designing my own dreamy custom, I’d go for a trusty favorite, the Kale Caesar (add avo). I mean, is there anything better than creamy caesar dressing and parm crisps?
Now that I live in Connecticut and can’t get my sweetgreen fix, I’ve had to get a little crafty in the kitchen to come up with my own version. And while sweetgreen doesn’t disclose their exact recipes, they do share the ingredients — which is super helpful when it comes to the signature dressing.
Enjoy this sweetgreen Kale Caesar makeover — perfect as a side dish or refreshing summer dinner.
Sweetgreen Kale Caesar Salad with Avocado
Makes 4-6 servings
- Bag chopped kale
- Chopped romaine hearts
- Package cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1.75 oz. Oven-Baked Parm Crisps, crumbled (1 bag)
- 1 avocado, sliced
- Juice of 1/2 lime (the lime squeeze is key!)
- Grilled chicken (optional, season with lemon, olive oil and S & P)
- 1/2 c. freshly shaved parmesan cheese
For the Dressing:
- 1 c. Greek yogurt
- 1 c. mayo (Sir Kensington’s is a great natural option)
- 2 TB parmesan cheese
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- Salt & pepper to taste
- In a large bowl, combine chopped kale, romaine tomatoes and parmesan cheese.
- In the meantime, grill your chicken (optional) and prepare your dressing. For dressing, simply whisk all the ingredients together and set aside.

Enjoy as a healthy side dish or refreshing summer family dinner!
I have read your post on another site about letting go of weight obsession and I am currently struggling with that. Hard. You said to someone in a comment there that once you began clean eating you felt like you didn’t have to obsess anymore. I love the idea of clean eating because it does feel good to eat clean. Much better. But does that mean I can’t occasionally crack open a can of say Bush’s baked beans? I don’t care for boxed meals so we already don’t eat that sort of thing around here. I prefer homemade everything. But sometimes I like something a little less clean like a can of Bush’s baked beans and a dessert once maybe twice a week. Is that too much do you think?
I’ve read some good stuff here. Definitely price bookmarking for revisiting.
I wonder how much effort you set to create any such wonderful
informative web site.
