DESCRIPTION

Avocado Kale Caesar Salad! Kale, avocado, and crunchy seeds drenched in a quick creamy avocado Caesar dressing that can easily be made vegan, too. Toss some crispy sweet potato fries in are you are SET FOR LIFE.

INGREDIENTS

Avocado Caesar Dressing:

  • 1 avocado, divided

  • 1/2 cup water

  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise (optional – see notes)

  • 2 small cloves garlic

  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Kale Caesar Salad:

  • 1 bunch kale, stems removed, chopped (5–6 cups)

  • Parmesan and/or pepitas for topping

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Cut the avocado in half. Reserve one half for the salad. Blend the other half with the water, mayo, garlic, lemon juice, Dijon, and salt. Taste and adjust!

  2. Toss the chopped kale with the dressing. Throw in a handful of pepitas and Parmesan and toss it all around. Finish the salad with the remaining half of the avocado, cut into cubes. YUM!
