Ingredients
Method
Remove kale stems and roughly chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces. Place in a large bowl.
Drizzle kale with 2 tbsp of caesar dressing and massage gently with your hands for 1–2 minutes until kale softens and darkens slightly.
Halve cherry tomatoes, dice cucumber, and thinly slice red onion. Set aside.
Prepare your chosen protein: grill or pan-sear chicken breast and slice; crisp bacon and crumble; or simply drain canned chickpeas. Season to taste.
Add diced cucumber, halved tomatoes, and sliced red onion to the massaged kale. Drizzle with remaining caesar dressing and toss gently.
Divide salad between bowls and top with your chosen protein, shaved parmesan, croutons, and optional garnish (sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, or hemp seeds).
Serve immediately while kale is still crisp and flavors are bright.
