Lemony Kale Salad

This recipe is inspired by the kale salad at my favorite restaurant. I like to serve it with a crispy chicken cutlet.

Ingredients

  • 5 oz curly kale
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 1/2 cup Caesar dressing (I like Ken’s Creamy Caesar)
  • Juice of 1/2 of a lemon
  • Freshly cracked pepper to taste
  • 1 cup Caesar croutons
  • Freshly grated Grana padano (or Parmesan)

Directions

  1. Wash and dry the kale and remove any tough stems. Tear into small pieces. In a large bowl, drizzle the kale with the olive oil and massage it into the kale.
  2. Dress the kale with the caesar dressing and then mix in the lemon juice, adjusting the amount of lemon to your taste. Season with pepper and stir in the croutons.
  3. Grate the grano padano onto the salad until the mountain of cheese seems absurd. Then serve!
