One of my all time favorite crowd pleasing salads!
One of my fav salads! My friend makes it all the time, but today was the first time I made it myself! Took a tip from my friend and rubbed toasted bread with garlic to add flavour. Almost added noosh, but think it’s great without so for now, no noosh. Makes a huge amount, but I can eat a lot, so I am stoked! Highly recommend this recipe! Very yummy and very satisfying as a meal on it’s own!!!
I love this salad. I add whatever leftover veggies I have in the fridge to it, sometimes Tofu. The dressing is so good and it’s a good meal salad
This was easy to make and so delicious I think about it most days. Have shared and will make again!
This recipe is great, but it was SO MUCH kale. I couldn’t finish it all. Next time, I’ll cut the kale down to 4.8 oz (2.4 oz is one serving). I was pleasantly surprised by the dressing. I thought 1/3 c of white wine vinegar would be too much, but it brought the right amount of tang after it was mixed in with the other ingredients. I also added 1/2 tablespoon of nutritional yeast to the dressing, just to give it a cheesier taste.
why does this recipe not port over to the meal planner? I tried to search it directly and it doesn’t show up in the planner itself, like many of them… But they have a button to place them in my recipe box. This one doesn’t. Too bad, I really wanted to try it.
Hi Katie,
It has a slightly different name in the meal planner, it’s listed just as “Kale Caesar Salad.” Sometimes the titles change slightly for the website version to help with search results in Google. Let us know if you’re still having trouble finding it!
Could the dressing be made with macadamias or pine nuts for those with a cashew allergy??
Kale is not my favorite. The dressing is good but needs some oil so the salad isn’t so dry. The croutons should be seasoned before backing as they were tasteless.
It’s whole food, plant based, so we don’t want to use oil.
One of my favorites. I make it over and over again!
Amazing My new favorite salad ❤️
We really enjoyed this. The dressing will be made for other greens as well. A perfect side dish. We all enjoyed it.
Do you ever include the nutritional information for your recipes? I need the total carbohydrates per serving and the serving size, please.
I want to know if this refrigerates well for leftovers?
Janice–look at RealPlans dot com. They have a free version and you can import recipes fro websites.
