Lacinato Kale Caesar Salad
By: Sydney Flippo
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit
Cut cauliflower florets into bite sized pieces
Place on baking sheet with oil of choice, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning
Bake for 20 min until crispy in spots
De-stem kale and slice into small ribbons
Add kale to large bowl with juice of 1 lemon and about 1 Tbsp olive oil
Massage to kale until it is a dark green color (about 5 min)- this makes it easier to digest
Leave the kale in the bowl while you prep the other ingredients
Add 1 Tbsp oil to a pan and heat
Add cooked butter beans to pan and shake occasionally until beans are crispy (if they start to pop, turn the heat down)
Season beans with salt, pepper, and garlic or garlic powder
Finish prepping the rest of the veggies (tomato, cucumber, carrots) while the cauliflower finishes cooking
Add all ingredients to the bowl with the kale
Toss in salad dressing and serve
To make croutons, cut up your favorite crusty bread into small pieces (or tear) toss with olive oil and any seasoning you want. Cook in oven or in toaster oven at 375 for 15-20 min turning half way through.
