Want to whip up a healthy lunch in a flash? This light and fresh kale salad is super easy and extremely delicious. Did I mention the homemade croutons?
Ingredients
- 1 large bunch of kale
- 1/4 loaf of rustic bread
- Olive oil
- Salt
- Parmesan cheese
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Lemon Dressing Ingredients
- 2 small garlic cloves (smashed with garlic press)
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- Freshly squeezed juice of one large lemon
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Directions
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.
Prep your salad by washing and drying your kale. Then rip into small pieces and place in a large bowl. Set aside.
Cut your 1/4 of a rustic bread into small 1 inches squares (I left the bread out over night so it would be a little bit hard).
Place the bread pieces on a baking pan and coat with a little bit of olive oil, salt and pinch of black pepper. Sprinkle a little bit of Parmesan cheese on top.
Bake for about 5 minutes until slightly brown.
While the croutons are baking, mix together your lemon dressing ingredients. Whisk it up with a fork.
Remove bread from the oven, and toss together with the kale and some Parmesan cheese.
Drizzle on the dressing and enjoy!
