    This healthy recipe for gluten free kale caesar salad is keto and low carb friendly. This recipe uses the best homemade caesar salad dressing! I love how quick and easy this salad is to make.

    We have a ton of kale in my garden to use and salads is one of my favorite way to eat kale. I love that you can put the dressing on the salad and it doesn't get soggy. It makes it easy to prepare a large batch of this salad and then eat that for the next couple of days for lunch.

    I also love this salad as a side with dinner. It's delicious with a grilled chicken breast on top or alongside barbecued steak. The key to a delicious kale salad is removing the stems. Kale stems are coarse and bitter. Removing them before chopping up your kale makes all the difference in the flavor of your salad!

    Is kale caesar salad healthy?

    Yes! Kale is a cruciferous vegetable with a ton of healthy vitamins and minerals. It's loaded with Vitamins A, K and C. Kale is also a great source of minerals that many of use are deficient in. It is a great plant based source of calcium, magnesium and potassium.

    What is in kale caesar salad?

    Gluten free kale caesar salad is mostly just kale with caesar dressing and croutons if you like them. You can also add a protein like a grilled chicken breast. I like to top my salad with extra finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.

    Description

    This healthy recipe for gluten free kale caesar salad is keto and low carb friendly. This recipe uses the best homemade caesar salad dressing! I love how quick and easy this salad is to make. 


    Ingredients

    Scale

    8 cups Tuscan (dinosaur) Kale, chopped
    2 Tbsp. Parmigiano-Reggiano, finely grated

    Gluten Free Caesar Dressing
    Gluten Free Sourdough Croutons


    Instructions

    If you are going to include Gluten Free Sourdough Croutons on your salad be sure to make them the day before so they have time to cool completely.

    Prepare your gluten free caesar dressing using my recipe.

    Remove the coarse stems from your tuscan (dinosaur) kale. The stems are bitter and need to be removed.

    Coarsely chop the kale leaves and place in a large bowl. Pour your desired amount of gluten free caesar dressing over the kale leaves. Toss to thoroughly coat the kale leaves.

    Top the salad with gluten free sourdough croutons and 2 tablespoons of finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano.

    Place the salad in the refrigerator to chill and serve cold. 

    If you have leftover salad you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Store the croutons separately so they don't get soft.
