Well, we've officially found our favorite pun of 2015. 

Popular salad joint Sweetgreen has teamed up with Kendrick Lamar to create what has officially become our new favorite meal: a salad called "Beets Don't Kill My Vibe." 

Yes, you read that correctly. 

If you're unfamiliar with K.Dot's music, the name is a play on the rapper's hit 2012 tune "Bitch Don't Kill My Vibe," and we'll admit, we think the moniker is pretty genius. 

Per MTV News, Sweetgreen is launching the salad in honor of the Compton-born musician headlining their forthcoming Sweetlife Festival, which features a number of notable artists and will take place May 30 and 31.

In anticipation of the new salad, which will also be available at the music festival, Sweetgreen also tweeted a photo today, letting fans know that "fresh beets [are] dropping on 5/1..."

Pretty clever, right? 

While the name itself is enough to make us try it, the new creation does sound pretty tasty. According to a press release, per MTV, the salad "contains shredded local kale, roasted chicken, goat cheese, organic wild rice, and flash roasted beets, which are marinated in balsamic vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, and a hint of honey."

The salad is expected to be available at all Sweetgreen locations, including New York, Washington D.C., Maryland, Virginia, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania (Los Angeles is coming soon!). And MTV reports that 10 percent of the proceeds will be donated to Food Corps, which seeks to provide young people with healthy eating habits. 

Although Kendrick has yet to respond to the news, this isn't the first time the company has been inspired by the rapper. Back in 2013, they also created a T-shirt which featured the same brilliant pun. 

Props to Sweetgreen for their creativity (and serious bonus points if they can make another pun out of To Pimp a Butterfly).
