Kale Cesar Salad Recipe
Salad Ingredients:
- 1 bag of pre-shredded kale or 1 bunch kale, finely chopped (~10 oz)
- Olive oil
- 10-15 cherry tomates, halved
- Freshly grated parmesan cheese
- Croutons of choice (I used @kooshy)
- Protein of choice like grilled or breaded chicken (optional)
Dressing Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
- 1 tbsp anchovy paste
- 2-3 cloves garlic, peeled
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 lemon, juiced
- 1 tbsp dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1-2 tbsp water to thin the dressing out (if needed)
Recipe:
1. Add all of the dressing ingredients except water to a tall container (if using an immersion blender) or a regular blender and blend for 1-2 minutes until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
2. Blend in small amounts of water at a time to thin out the dressing if needed.
3. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
4. Add kale to a large bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and massage it with your hands for about 2 minutes until the leaves soften, lose their stiffness, and reduce in volume by about one-third.
5. Add cherry tomatoes, croutons, and some freshly grated parm to the bowl of kale, drizzle with the Caesar dressing, and mix until well combined.
6. Serve with breaded or grilled chicken, and top with more parmesan cheese and dressing before diving in.
