A flavour-packed kale and spinach Caesars salad recipe with oven-roasted croutons.

Prep Time
15 mins
Course: Salad

Ingredients

salad:
  • kale chard and baby spinach leaves (mainly kale) veins removed - about 3 litres of loosely packed leaves, torn, one large bowlful
  • 2 cups croutons ready-made or make your own with my crouton recipe
  • lices roast chicken meat from half to a full chicken depending on servings
  • Parmesan Cheese additional, shavings, optional to serve
dressing:
  • 110 ml Greek yoghurt
  • 1 Tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 6 anchovies
  • 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 Tbsp basil pesto
  • 1 lemon juice fresh, tablespoon
  • 40 g Parmesan Cheese grated
  • 3 Tbsp olive oil
  • black pepper to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place all the dressing ingredients in a small food processor and mix to combine. If you are making it by hand, grind the anchovies to a paste before.
  2. in a large mixing bowl coat, the kale and spinach leaves generously with the dressing and allow to stand for about 3 minutes. Add the croutons and toss again to coat. The leaves will soften and wilt slightly when the dressing is added.
  3. Tip this out into a serving platter or large bowl and cover the salad with the sliced roast chicken pieces.

Notes

  • Store any leftover croutons in an airtight container.
  • Use any leftover salad dressing on other salads or drizzled over wraps, sandwiches or on chicken.
