Description

A refreshing twist on the classic Caesar salad, featuring tender kale, savory dressing, and grated Parmesan cheese for a delightful crunch.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups kale, chopped
  • 1 cup croutons or crispy pepperoni crumbs
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Combine the chopped kale in a large bowl, massaging it gently to soften.
  2. Whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to create the dressing in a separate bowl.
  3. Pour the dressing over the kale and toss well to coat.
  4. Add the Parmesan cheese and croutons, tossing again just before serving.
  5. Serve immediately for the best texture.

Notes

Massage kale leaves to enhance their texture and absorb the dressing better. Add dressing just before serving to maintain freshness.
