This recipe is dedicated to my dear friend Kevin, who has always loved Caesar salad, and like me, has a healthy obsession with kale. Like other dark leafy greens, kale is unbelievably nutritious, full of antioxidants. It is unusually high in fiber, vitamin A, and calcium. Most often, I toss kale in olive oil, garlic and red pepper flakes in a hot pan, then add a bit of chicken broth and braise for 7 minutes, and finish it with a squeeze of lemon juice. Yet it is a highly versatile vegetable; it is excellent sauteed, grilled, or raw.
All the times I’ve scrolled through your blog, never realized Kevin’s favorite salad recipe was dedicated to him—I’m so grateful for this recipe as it has kept me healthy these past few years! As delicious as it is healthy and beautiful. xo
