Kale Caesar Salad
This Kale Caesar Salad is exactly what you're craving! Greek yogurt serves as the creamy base in this lightened up Caesar dressing recipe, which is tossed with tender lacianto kale and toasty breadcrumbs. This delicious salad is bound to be one you'll got to repeatedly!
Servings: 1 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups lacianto kale, washed, de-stemmed, and uniformly chopped
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp garlic minced (about 1/2 clove)
For the Greek Yogurt Caesar Dressing:
- 1/3 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup Parmigiano Reggiano Cheese, shredded
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 clove garlic roughly chopped
- 1 tsp anchovy paste
- 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 1/2 tsp dijon mustard
- 1/2 lemon juiced
- 1/4 cup bread crumbs see note
Instructions
- Add kale to a large bowl. Be sure you've chopped it in to uniform bite-sized pieces.
- Drizzle with about one third of the dressing. Add more as your tastes prefer! Toss thoroughly to coat all the kale.
- To make the toasty breadcrumb crouton topping, heat 1 teaspoon oil in a small sauté pan. Add garlic, sauce until fragrant. Add breadcrumbs along with a small sprinkle of salt and a few grinds of freshly cracked pepper. Stir for about 2 minutes to allow the garlic to cook down and meld with breadcrumbs.
- Top dressed kale with the breadcrumbs.
Notes
- Be sure you get super crunchy breadcrumbs! These are serving as the crouton, so super fine breadcrumbs won't do! I like using Panko Bread Crumbs or even something like a Cubed Stuffing mix.
- Don't skip on the anchovies! Promise they aren't as fishy as you think. I also promise that the dressing won't taste the same without it! I like using this paste.
