True life, I never make salad at home. Like ever.

I always love getting fresh salads when we are out for dinner or when I am craving one for lunch but I think I just hate mixing and tossing the salad at home. I make a mess in the kitchen, the toppings and dressing it everywhere. Then Jord yells, HA!

I had the biggest craving for a caesar salad last week and conveniently had a few of Organic Girl’s new greens in the fridge ready to go. I used their REBEL Greens and Protein Greens, which are just launching, in this recipe! Mixed with a homemade vegan avocado caesar dressing and topped with homemade crunchy sweet potato croutons.

The dressing is made from ripped avocados, water, dijon mustard, vegan mayo and garlic. It is so flavorful and delicious over a fresh bed of greens.

Now let’s talk about Organic Girl’s new greens. REBEL Greens are baby bok choy leaves, which are even more nutritious than kale! Except they have a much milder taste and tender texture compared to kale. It is so easy to use in the kitchen. You can cook it like you would swiss chard or spinach or blend it in your smoothie. Or you can use it as a salad base like I did with Organic Girl’s new Protein Greens. Their Protein Greens have 5 grams of plant protein. Made from sweet pea leaves, baby spinach, baby tatsoi, baby kale and mizuna! The sweet pea leaves help make this the highest protein based green ever!

As you guys know, I always use Organic Girl as my greens for my recipes. We have made so many different recipes with their products like: Savory Paleo Breakfast Waffles, Whole30 Loaded Veggie Burgers, 5-ingredient Creamy Squash Pasta and Avocado Arugula Pesto Pasta. SO MANY GREENS!

Don’t forget to make these crunchy sweet potato croutons to go with the salad too. They add a delicious and hearty crunchy to the bowl and are super simple to make!
