Can I make Sweet Green Salads cheaper at home?

Just two salad bowls from Sweet Green cost me $28.31 with tax, and it got me wondering, how many salads could I make if I had 28.31 to spend on groceries? Can I get everything I need including everything to make the green goddess ranch?

One key reason I think people prefer takeout salads to an at-home preparation is the *elusive temperature* element. Takeout or restaurant salads are usually at room temperature or have some combination of warm and room temperature ingredients. It sounds funny but eating a warm salad is pretty night and day from the typical fridge-cold one you're likely to make at home. I think that's why Sweetgreen's use of roasted brussel sprouts, sweet potatoes, etc. make people so happy to eat them.
@EthanChlebowski
@EthanChlebowski Год назад
Agreed, I think that temperature of the salad is something we often overlook. I should have made a note of that in the video! I typically will take my cooked chicken straight from the grill, slice it and throw it on. There's something with the contrast of temps that I find appealing.

Another salad tip is to season your greens with salt, rather than just adding more dressing to get to that final flavor level. Those pieces of lettuce/kale/ext. need some loving to really make them pop, and once you give it a try it’s honestly night and day. Enjoy!

I honestly used to think I didn't like salads at all until I realized what I really didn't like was something you touched on here: I really disliked the change in texture you have when its big uncut leaves versus a finer cut. And what a difference that made to me too. Having fibromyalgia, I get weird hang ups about texture, but that simple change opened the door to a wide world of tasty salads.

Yesterday I found myself craving a veggie quesadilla and just made it from home instead of ordering out, and not only did I have everything I needed to make it, but it hit the exact notes I wanted, unlike takeout near me that always left me wanting more. I appreciate your work, and am excited to see more of it. Especially these cost breakdown vids, they’ve helped me curb my spending AND eat healthier. Thanks for that!

These techniques are awesome! I am just starting on a high-vegetable diet and I'm looking to up my salad game. Two little variations I woudl use: 1 - A little cayenne in the roast sweet potato/yam kicks everything up a notch. and 2 - Prep carrots for a salad with a potato peeler to get very fine sheets you can turn into flakes or shreds. Carrots in a salad should be shredded or at least thin enough to pierce with your fork. Diced carrots would all end up at the bottom of the bowl if I was eating them. A box grater works great too.

When I worked in Boston's Financial District, I would buy a Sweetgreen's salad once or twice a week for lunch. There was always a very long line to order ... I consider food like this "office lunch" food; I would never buy it to eat at home. One advantage is that you can have a huge variety in your salad. I would never prep 10 different things for myself, but it's easy to ask for 10 things in the salad they make for you. I would always customize my salad. It is expensive, but so is rent and labor.

I'd definitely say Sweetgreens is fairly priced considering they've been losing money every year at the current prices they sell their salads. They source local produce rather than using national distributers. So you get better produce than you would otherwise get, but it also means higher pricing.

A trick I learned for sweet potatoes is while you’re prepping them, keep the cooking tray in the oven as it preheats. Toss the uncooked potatoes in a bowl and give them a stir to coat the pieces with oil evenly. When oven is done preheating, add them to the pan. It helps the pieces to not stick to the pan during baking.

One thing I’ve started doing with chicken breasts I a trick I learned from America’s Test Kitchen. Cut the breast in two where it starts getting thin. Then spilt the thicker part in half horizontally. Pound until they are the same thickness. It’s great because you get three smaller pieces. Sometimes I’ll have one, if I’m having a salad like this where there is other protein. Other times two. It makes switching up portion sizes more flexible. And they fit on buns! I really like these videos where you go into how to make restaurant dishes at home. If I am at someplace like Sweetgrass, I try to order something I haven’t tried before, so I know what it tastes like so I can make it at home. Or if there is an ingredient I won’t be buying as a one person household, I’ll get it while out. Watermelon actually does make sense to buy for one. It’s mostly water, so you can eat a lot. If there is more than you can eat, throw it in the food processor for a tasty agua fresca. I also have a spice blend from Penzey’s to make Pica Fruta, which makes eating a lot of watermelon very easy.

All my salads are finished with leftover colorful veggies, and it makes a huge difference- especially if y end up eating the same ingredients several days in a row. Being able to add an Asian, Mexican, or Italian flare with one or two items is a game changer. Thanks for the wonderful breakdown. Once you have a method you can do mighty things with small changes.

nah. these corporations don't sell you the best, most cost-effective food. they sell you convenience. their target audience are people who work a lot and make a decent amount of money, meaning they don't have a lot of time but have the money to spend. the true cost of home cooking is time and management. as briefly touched upon in the video, buying all the ingredients at the grocery store locks you into those ingredients and forces you to manage them before they go bad and having to find ways to use them. it's not just the cooking time but also the mental effort behind all of that. getting a sweet green salad is throwing money at the problem of not having enough time for (or not wanting to spend the time on) home cooking. it's capitalism trying to find solutions for problems created by capitalism.

That's where Sweetgreen, Chopt, even Chipotle, I daresay, come in clutch. That being said, it's also a costly affair, and if you can be smart about the whole home cooking experience, you can get away with some easy simple meals without a lot of hassle(having put the time in for an initial prep, there is no escaping that). My approach has been, cook often, streamline that process (it's become therapeutic now) and save the eating-out bit for a more special occasion, but I always opt to eat something I know I can't make on my own: like authentic Ramen. I personally don't get salads from these joints, because it just is that expensive. The profit margins on these are huge. But I also understand how popular these are, especially with people into fitness and stuff. I see a trend.

Yeah, this would be really country specific for costing. Here in New Zealand what you got there is still closer to $50. And if you add in the pantry stuff, a bottle of Mayo can be anywhere up to $9 here, the Greek yoghurt is also going to go you in the region of at least $5. Because although these are meant to be pantry items most people don't really have half of these things at the ready in their cupboard.

To be fair sweetgreens cost factors in the logistics of working with multiple small farms rather than a large distribution company where you would normally get your produce so a more accurate shopping experience would be going to the farmers market

Any chance you could cover how long things last? I'd love to make that ranch, but it would need to last long enough to be worth it for me. Just for future reference :)
@joy12division

Homemade ranch should last roughly a week. Super easy to make traditional ranch as well. Buttermilk, sour cream, mayo, salt, pepper, parsley, dill weed, chives. The only thing that you may not buy regularly is the buttermilk which at your average grocery store would likely cost $1-2 pending on size. You could also use the buttermilk for fried chicken.

Yea I can try to add that information when possible, it's a little tough to know an exact time frame, but for this one I'd say bare minimum a week. Try using it roasted vegetables...I only have one spoonful left after making it 5 days ago lol.

I'd say it varies quite a bit. Dairy products in my mother's refrigerator last a few weeks in line with the sell-by date but I've had them stay just fine in my own for far longer than you would reasonably expect, _long_ after the sell-by date because I keep the temperature lower and don't open it very often. Something that lasts months in my fridge might keep for a week in someone else's.

Sauces freeze very well! Just put it into an icecube tray and transfer to a Ziploc bag once frozen.

TBH the only ingredients I'd have to buy specially for something like that would be the chickpeas, everything else is already in the household essentials list. It does seem pricey though as I used to spend around £4 a day (£8 across two days) buying premade components from a local supermarket. I was only paying around £7 to sit down somewhere and eat in!

Adding reddit to any search is a well known trick at this point since regular searches are so SEO optimized at this point as to be nothing but sales pages.

The other strat for the 'way too many leftovers' issue is to consciously make salads that will last all week in the fridge. Use crunchier greens (cabbage, kale etc), store the dressing separately (keep the acid off stuff that wilts, just a bit of oil on them to avoid oxidization), store 'dry' ingredients like beans/roasted vege/proteins seperate from things that get wet (chopped cherry tomatoes, cucumber etc). Then when you need just whip all together. Gets you a nice lil side salad for every meal all week.

You have it backwards. Oil is what wilts greens, but that’s actually a plus with kale

In a similar fashion, have you considered a video or three where you have a "shopping trip" for a workweek Airbnb or weekend Vacation rental or longer stay in hotel with kitchenette? I used to travel and stay for a week at a time in short term apartment and it was a struggle to be creative and healthful.

Former SweetGreem employee here, my reasons why i think the salads are expensive: 1. Fresh ingredients bought from individual farmers. 2. Dressings made from scratch 3. Prep time and employee labor 4. We got payed well and fair, especially the cooks When i would come to work, prep time, while basic for me, was longn. some things not used were thrown out in the end of the day (like chicken or wild rice) and a new batch was prepared daily.
