This kale Caesar salad recipe is an easy, delicious side dish or healthy lunch! You have two options for the dressing. One is vegan, and it's made in a blender with a cashew base. The other has a Greek yogurt base, and it's easy to stir together by hand. Both are creamy, tangy, and delicious.

Ingredients

1 bunch curly kale, stemmed
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
Sea salt
5 cups chopped romaine lettuce
Healthy Caesar Dressing or Vegan Caesar Dressing,
1 cup Homemade Croutons
Shaved Parmesan cheese or vegan Parmesan
Roasted chickpeas, optional
1 avocado, diced, optional

Instructions

Tear the kale into bite-size pieces and place in a large bowl. Drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Use your hands to massage the leaves until they wilt.
Add the romaine and toss. Drizzle with half the dressing and toss again.
Transfer to a serving bowl and top with the croutons and Parmesan. Add more dressing, roasted chickpeas, and avocado, if desired, and serve.
