Unsaved Kale Protein Caesar Salad

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup Fresh squeezed lemon juice, plus 2 tablespoons for tossing with kale
  • 1 cup Higher Harvest Dairy-Free Plain Protein Yogurt
  • 4 cloves Garlic, lightly crushed
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp Liquid aminos
  • 3/4 cup Avocado oil, or any neutral flavored oil
  • 12 oz Organic kale greens
  • 1/3 cup Grated Parmesan cheese, plus more as needed for garnish
  • 1 cup Prepared croutons, as needed for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a blender, add lemon juice, yogurt, garlic, mustard, and liquid aminos. Puree until smooth.
  2. With the blender running, slowly add oil in a thin stream until an emulsion forms. Season to taste with salt and lots of fresh cracked pepper, place in a container, and refrigerate until ready to use.
  3. When ready to serve, add kale to a large bowl along with 2 tablespoons of lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Using your hands, massage lemon juice into kale until softened and kale shrinks by almost half its volume.

  5. Chef's Note: Caesar dressing will keep up to 1 week when refrigerated.
