Your new favorite summer salad has just arrived. My Lemony Parmesan Kale Salad is a bright, vibrant salad that tastes so delicious, you'll actually forget that it's healthy. ;) This salad also happens to be gluten-free, grain-free, and uses only 8 simple and easy and ingredients, so it's perfect to whip up any time!
Ingredients
- 2 Bunches Curly Kale
- 1 Cup Croutons
- ½ Cup Freshly Grated Parmesan Cheese
- ¼ Cup Olive Oil
- ¼ Cup Lemon Juice
- 3 Cloves Garlic
- 1 Teaspoon Sea Salt
- ½ Teaspoon Black Pepper
Instructions
- Start by preparing the kale; remove and discard the stems, then wash the leaves thoroughly with water and place in a bowl.
- Next, add about 1 teaspoon of sea salt to the kale and use your hands to massage the salt into the kale, until it begins to soften. This should take about 1-2 minutes.
- Next, chop or crush your croutons finely and add them to the bowl.
- The, prepare the dressing, by mixing together the remaining ingredients (the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and black pepper) in a small bowl until they're fully combined.
- Pour the dressing on top of the salad, along with the grated parmesan cheese, and toss to fully combine.
- Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2-3 days. Enjoy!
