Let's be real: Almost everything on Sweetgreen's core menu of salads and bowls is healthy. But if I could only pick one option to order for the rest of my life, it's pretty hard to beat the seasonal superfood bowl, loaded with avocado, beet hummus, roasted sweet potatoes, black lentils, shredded cabbage, shredded carrots, toasted buckwheat, organic spinach, shredded kale, and lemon ginger turmeric vinaigrette. That's a lot of pure plant-based goodness! And now you can make the best part of the wholesome mix right in your own kitchen.
The real star of the superfood bowl is its bright pink beet hummus. While it's super rare for restaurants share secret recipes, Sweetgreen spilled the beans on Instagram, allowing you to recreate the "magenta magic." Here's exactly how to make beet hummus at home:
