Guiltless Kale Caesar Salad

February 6, 2017

Guiltless Kale Cesaer Salad

Not going to lie. I freaking LOVE Caesar salad. But what I don’t love.. is the feeling of remorse afterward! I mean, who can forget that article a few years back that likened the nutritional value (or lack thereof) of a Caesar Salad to that of a Big Mac. If I’m going to indulge, I’d rather have the Big Mac…amiright?

Enter the Kale Caesar. Kale instead of iceberg lettuce definitely ups the vitamin factor. SCORE. But what about the less-than- healthy  but oh-so- delicious dressing? I’ve been on a mission the past month to find something that packs the delicious flavor punch of real Caesar dressing but is actually GOOD for you. Think it can’t be done? Think again! This dressing is Vegan, Gluten Free and loaded with protein. You can even serve it to your kids and spouse and they WON’T KNOW THE DIFFERENCE! Can you say game changer?!

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup (60 g) plain hummus ( I used Western Family store bought)
  • 1 tsp spicy mustard ( I used WF Pale Ale + Honey Spice)
  • lemon zest ( I used from the full lemon, less spicy use 1/2 lemon)
  • 2-3 Tbsp (30-45 ml) lemon juice, to taste
  • 1 tsp capers, finely minced/smashed, plus 2 tsp brining juice
  • 3 Tbsp fresh minced garlic (4-5 cloves)
  • Healthy pinch each Himalayan salt (or table salt) and pepper to taste
  • 1 Tbsp. olive oil (for added creaminess)
  • 2 tsp. Parmesan or Vegan Parmesan

Instructions:

  1. In a small mixing bowl, combine hummus, mustard, lemon zest, lemon juice, minced capers, caper brining juice, and minced garlic.  Whisk thoroughly. For added creaminess, pour in optional Olive oil at this point.
  2. Add a little hot water until desired consistency achieved, and whisk until creamy and smooth. Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more salt and pepper, lemon juice, or minced garlic if desired!
  3. Too  salty and briney for you? Add a tsp of honey or agave, (I did not).
  4. Use immediately, or store in the refrigerator up to 5-7 days.
  5. Toss with kale and top with fresh parmesan or vegan parmesan.
  6. You can also pair with romaine, arugula or roasted vegetables, such as blanched asparagus, Brussel sprouts or baby potatoes.                  6

Spring is in the Air! I don’t know about you, bu Spring is in the Air! I don’t know about you, but I’m getting the urge to redecorate, AGAIN! Sorry, husband! 🤪

Whether it’s spring fever or cabin fever,  I’ve never spent more time fixing and switching up our space than in the past year. The folks at the home improvement stores practically know me by name! 🙈

But what happens when you’ve found the pampas grass, end table or plant baby of your dreams and can’t get it to fit in your small car or the back of a taxi? 😩

@communauto_yeg to the rescue! They have several amazing SUV’s in their fleet boasting awesome trunk space. With car sharing service available for a few hours, or even a few days (in case you decide to take your DIY-ing to the next level), you can tackle any home Reno project you dare 🙌

Unsure how to get started with Communauto? Check out our blog post (link in bio) for lots of helpful information!

I know a Girl, she puts the COLOR inside of my wor I know a Girl, she puts the COLOR inside of my world ✨

...and that’s an understatement! To know Frankie is to Love her! Truly!

This little lady brings so much joy, laughter and sweetness to everything and everyone around her. Which is a very good thing - considering she prefers to rise before the sun, has a serious stubborn streak and is a tiny tornado always leaving a trail of crumbs in her wake! 🤪

In all seriousness, she is such a bright light in our lives, and has taught me more in the last three years than I ever thought possible. I am grateful to God everyday that He chose me to be her mama. 🤍 

Happy T H I R D Birthday my love, may you never change!
