Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Make the Croutons

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the sourdough bread into bite-sized cubes. Toss with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until well combined.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine the baby kale and croutons. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine. Add the shredded parmesan cheese and toss again.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Transfer the salad to a serving platter or individual bowls. Optionally, garnish with extra parmesan and a sprinkle of black pepper before serving.
