How to Make Sweetgreen’s Super Green Goddess Salad with Vegan Ranch

Make Sweetgreen's most popular salad recipes at home with a plant-based twist – we created vegan versions of the salad chain's original recipes, including this Super Green Goddess Salad drizzled with a homemade non-dairy cashew ranch dressing.

We also whipped up three other Sweetgreen recipes everyone will love. If you're in the mood for a warm bowl, make our Brussels + "Chicken" salad, another popular menu item at the beloved fast-casual salad bar. We also made Sweetgreen's classic Kale Cesar made completely dairy-free, and the famous Guacamole Greens with roasted tofu. Choose your favorite recipe and make it on repeat!

In this Super Green Goddess recipe, you'll need a blender, sheet pan, and to preheat your oven all before you grab the salad bowl. You'll start by making the salad dressing. Note the cashews need to be soaked for a few hours or overnight, depending on the method you choose. Once the soak time is up, the rest is a breeze. You'll blend your ingredients for the dressing, and set it aside to roast your veggies and assemble the salad. Enjoy!
