Salad Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Croutons

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the rye bread into small cubes and spread them on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until golden and crispy.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine the chopped kale and romaine lettuce. Massage the kale with a little olive oil and salt for about 1-2 minutes to soften it.

  3. 3

    Add Dressing and Toss

    Add the house Caesar dressing to the salad and toss well to combine. If you need a gluten-free option, ensure to use gluten-free rye bread for the croutons.

  4. 4

    Finish with Vegan Parmesan

    Sprinkle the vegan parmesan cheese over the top of the salad and toss gently. Add the croutons just before serving to maintain their crunch.
