Kale Caesar Salad
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 10 minutes
Servings: 4–8
Ingredients
For the Salad
- 1 bunch fresh kale, hard stems removed and finely chopped (about 8 cups loosely packed)
- ⅓ cup shaved Parmesan cheese
- Homemade or store-bought croutons, optional
For the Caesar Dressing
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Zest and juice of 1 large lemon (about 1 teaspoon zest and 3 tablespoons juice)
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
Optional flavor boost: Add one of the following to the dressing:
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- ½ teaspoon anchovy paste
- ½ teaspoon fish sauce
Instructions
- Remove the tough stems from the kale and chop the leaves into small, bite-sized pieces.
- Place the chopped kale in a large salad bowl.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, grated Parmesan, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, Dijon mustard, and black pepper. Add Worcestershire sauce, anchovy paste, or fish sauce if desired.
- Pour the dressing over the kale. Using clean hands or salad tongs, massage and toss the kale until it is evenly coated with the dressing.
- Top with shaved Parmesan and croutons.
- Serve immediately.
Tip: The kale becomes more tender and flavourful as you massage the dressing into the leaves.
Storage
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. If using croutons, store them separately so they remain crunchy.
