Copycat Sweetgreen Kale Caesar Salad

This Copycat Sweetgreen Kale Caesar Salad is basically better than the real deal. Super simple and easy to make and you will think you are at your favorite salad joint eating it!

Raise your hand if you are an actual sweetgreen kale caesar salad addict!!

I personally am obsessed and seriously order it waaaayyy too much. It is my favorite salad combo that has just never gotten old and it always hits the spot. So it was only a matter of time until I made one at home. It obviously saves money but it also just saves me time because they don’t have one super close to my apartment. And I know that some of us have never been if we don’t live by one. So now you can make one at home!

This salad combo is truly the best. Crunchy romaine and kale with chicken, fresh shaved parm, crispy cheese whisps and I always always add avocado! Oh – and I omit the tomatoes for myself because you guys know my feelings on tomatoes lol. But if you want the classic sweetgreen version and love tomatoes, do it!

I hope you guys love this recipe as much as we do. And LMK you’re other SG faves. We can share more soon!
