Method

Salad Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Kale

    Wash and thoroughly dry the kale. Remove the tough stems and chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Toast the Pine Nuts

    In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the pine nuts for about 3-5 minutes until they are golden brown, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

  3. 3

    Combine Salad Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped kale, croutons, toasted pine nuts, hemp seeds, and grated parmesan cheese.

Dressing Preparation

  1. 4

    Make the Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, nutritional yeast, and water until smooth. Add salt and black pepper to taste.

Final Assembly

  1. 5

    Dress the Salad

    Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss well to combine, ensuring all ingredients are coated with the dressing.

  2. 6

    Serve

    Serve the kale Caesar salad immediately, garnished with additional parmesan and cracked black pepper if desired.
