How to Make

Sweet Potato Fries. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Arrange the thinly sliced sweet potatoes on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Toss with avocado oil & seasonings. Bake for 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy & golden.
Avocado Caesar Dressing. Use an immersion blender, food processor, or high-speed blender to blend the ingredients until smooth & creamy. Add more water as needed to achieve your desired consistency.
Kale. Place chopped kale in a large bowl & add the lemon juice. Massage the kale with clean hands for 1–2 minutes until it softens.
Combine. Add the avocado Caesar dressing, white beans, & half of the seeds to the kale. Toss everything together thoroughly & set aside.
Serve. Divide the salad & sweet potato fries between serving bowls. Top the salad with the remaining avocado cubes & seeds. Enjoy!

Tips for Making This Vegan Caesar Salad Perfectly

Always Massage the Kale: Don’t forget to massage kale with lemon juice for 1–2 minutes to soften the leaves & reduce bitterness.
Organic Ripe Avocado: Choose an avocado that yields slightly to gentle pressure. Overripe avocados can taste mushy, while underripe ones won’t blend smoothly.
Blend Thoroughly: Use a high-speed blender, food processor, or immersion blender to ensure a silky smooth texture without any lumps.

Storing & Reheating

Although this White Bean & Avocado Kale Caesar Salad with Sweet Potato Fries is best enjoyed fresh, it also works well as healthy vegan leftovers!

Storing. To keep the salad bright & fresh, prepare the avocado Caesar dressing & massage the kale just before serving, as the dressing can brown over time. Store the beans & sweet potato fries separately in airtight glass containers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Reheating. To reheat, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the roasted sweet potato fries in an oven-safe dish & heat for 10–15 minutes, until warmed through. Serve alongside the white bean & avocado kale Caesar salad with the remaining toppings.
