The Caesar salad is a classic dish that has been enjoyed for decades. It's typically made with romaine lettuce, croutons, Parmesan cheese, and a creamy Caesar dressing. This Kale Caesar Bowl is a healthier twist on the classic dish. It uses kale instead of romaine lettuce, which is a more nutrient-rich green. The croutons are made with whole-wheat bread, and the Parmesan cheese is replaced with vegan Parmesan cheese. This bowl is just as delicious as the classic Caesar salad, but it's also healthier and more nutritious.
