Amazing Kale Caesar Salad
Posted On February 3, 2022
Perfect Fall Salad that can be a light lunch or we add some grilled chicken when we are having it for dinner. If you are scared of raw egg in most Caesar dressing recipes you will like that this does not have any raw egg. Don’t be afraid of the anchovy paste and don’t leave it out, it really makes the dressing. Don’t skip the water bath for the kale not only does it clean it but also helps helps with the bitterness that kale can have. You can absolutely just use store bought crotons but I would recommend taking the time to make your own especially in a simple salad like this one!
