Salad Components

Toasted Seeds

Garlic Breadcrumbs

Caesar Dressing

Method

Preparing the Salad

  1. 1

    Prepare the Kale

    Wash the kale thoroughly under cold water. Remove the stems and tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces. Place the kale in a large salad bowl.

  2. 2

    Make the Caesar Dressing

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, 0.25 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper until smooth. Set aside.

Toasting the Seeds

  1. 3

    Toast the Pumpkin Seeds

    In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and pumpkin seeds. Sprinkle with salt and toast for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the seeds are golden and fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool.

Making Garlic Breadcrumbs

  1. 4

    Prepare the Garlic Breadcrumbs

    In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the bread crumbs and chopped parsley, stirring to combine. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the bread crumbs are golden brown. Remove from heat.

Assembling the Salad

  1. 5

    Combine and Serve

    Add the toasted pumpkin seeds, garlic breadcrumbs, and 1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese to the bowl with kale. Drizzle the Caesar dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine. Serve immediately.
