Jerk Kale Caesar Salad Recipe
Jerk Kale Caesar Salad Recipe:
Preparation Time: 10 minutes
What you’ll need:
Fresh Kale extra points if purple kale
One Red Bell Pepper
Creamy Caesar Salad Dressing (Here’s the brand I utilize)
One Lime
Handful of Croutons
Cherry Tomatoes
Mild Jerk Paste Jar
Cooking Steps:
Gather all the ingredients for prep. Wash all tomatoes, the lime, bell peppers, and kale (if not pre-bagged & washed).
Start by cutting the tomatoes in half. Followed by cutting the bell peppers into long thing strips and then slicing them in half. If your kale wasn’t pre-washed, wash the kale (I like to add a bit of ACV for cleaning- but only if the kale is fresh from my garden), then pat the kale dry with a fresh napkin before cutting the kale in small pieces. Finish off by cutting up the croutons into small pieces (half size is perfect).
Next, grab a large bowl and put the kale into it. From there, add the tomatoes, croutons, and bell peppers into the bowl and mix the ingredients around. Drizzle half of the lime on the fresh kale afterwards.
Pull out a small bowl and pour in one cup of creamy Caesar salad dressing into the bowl. Next add two tablespoons of the mild jerk paste into the bowl. Finish off by squeezing the final half of the lime into the salad dressing, and whisk the ingredients together.
Combine the salad dressing with the kale and mix the salad together. The salad is ready to eat from there! However, for optimal taste, feel free to cover the salad and place in the refrigerator for around 20-30 minutes to help the kale soften (key if you purchased pre-washed kale).
