Kale & Almond Caesar Salad
Kale & Almond Caesar Salad: A Healthier, Plant-Based Twist on the Classic Caesar Salad Our Kale & Almond Caesar Salad is a delicious and healthier alternative to the classic Caesar salad. It's made with fresh kale, sliced almonds, and a tangy Caesar-style dressing. The kale is massaged until softened, then tossed with the dressing and almonds. Top with vegan Parmesan cheese, if desired, for a complete and flavorful salad that's perfect for lunch or dinner.
The Caesar salad is a classic for a reason: it's creamy, garlicky, and oh-so-satisfying. But if you're looking for a healthier version that's still just as delicious, our Kale & Almond Caesar Salad is the perfect choice. This salad starts with fresh kale, which is massaged until softened. This helps to break down the tough fibers in the kale, making it more tender and easier to digest. The kale is then tossed with a tangy Caesar-style dressing made with olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. The dressing is light and flavorful, and it perfectly complements the kale. Topped with sliced almonds for added crunch and vegan Parmesan cheese (if desired) for a salty, nutty flavor, our Kale & Almond Caesar Salad is a complete and satisfying meal. It's perfect for lunch or dinner, and it's sure to become a favorite of both vegetarians and meat-eaters alike.
