WHERE NUTRITION MEETS
CRAVE-WORTHY CREATIVITY
Meet the Fresh Express Caesar Burger Bowl with Crispy Smashed Potatoes — Registered Dietitian Steph Grasso’s delicious love letter to the viral Girl Dinner trend. It’s everything you crave: juicy seasoned beef, crispy golden smashed potatoes, and crunchy-creamy Fresh Express® Caesar salad, all crowned with playful toppings like pickles, avocado, and cherry tomatoes.
Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment or foil.
Add the baby potatoes to a large pot and cover with cold water. Season with 1 tsp salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until fork-tender, about 15–20 minutes. Drain and let sit for 5 minutes to dry.
Transfer potatoes to the baking sheet. Use the bottom of a glass to gently smash each potato to about ½-inch thick. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway, until crispy and golden on the edges.
While the potatoes roast, heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the ground beef with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until browned and fully cooked.
In a large bowl, toss together the Fresh Express Caesar salad kit—greens, dressing, croutons, and Parmesan.
To assemble, layer each bowl with a bed of Caesar salad. Top with a scoop of seasoned beef, smashed potatoes, and toppings like pickle slices, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and avocado. Drizzle with any remaining Caesar dressing if desired.
