Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups of prewashed kale
- 1 cup gluten-free croutons
- 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese, optional
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic, pressed
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Place the kale in a large salad bowl and 1 teaspoon of sea salt to the kale. Using your hands, massage the salt into the kale until it softens. About 1-2 minutes. Set it aside.
- In a small bowl, mix the remaining ingredients (the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and black pepper) until they’re fully incorporated.
- Pour the dressing on top of the salad, along with the grated parmesan cheese, and toss to combine fully.
- Add the gluten-free croutons to a bowl and crush them finely. Then toss crushed croutons in the salad.
- Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
Notes
- The grated parmesan cheese can be excluded for a dairy-free option. The salad will still taste delicious.
- Store salad in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
