Kale Caesar Salad with Grilled Chicken and Parmesan Pepper Croutons
Start with fresh kale or baby kale leaves. If you use mature kale leaves, remove coarse stems and chop. Place chopped kale in a plastic bag and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil. Close the bag, massage and shake it for a few minutes, then let the kale rest while you make the dressing. When ready to assemble, add pieces of grilled chicken, shavings of good quality, Parmesan cheese, and Olivia’s Parmesan Pepper Croutons. Add dressing and toss generously. Add additional shavings of Parmesan and serve.
