Description

I know that kale recipes are huge on the Internet, but here in South Africa, we tend to catch on to food trends a little late! For raw kale, I think it needs to be generously coated with a flavour-packed dressing with lots of acidity to help break down the texture slightly, and my new all-time favourite Caesar dressing is adapted from a Jamie Oliver recipe that has become a staple in my house – this dressing turns any green leaf into a taste sensation. I also use a ready-roasted rotisserie chicken, because it’s another staple item in my house. 

Directions

  • To make the dressing, place all the ingredients in a small food processor and process to combine. Alternatively, if you are making it by hand, grind the anchovies to a paste, then combine with the remaining ingredients (see Note).
  • Place the kale, silverbeet and spinach in a large bowl, pour over the dressing and toss to coat. Allow to stand for 3 minutes to slightly soften and wilt the leaves. Add the croutons and toss to coat.
  • Tip the salad onto a serving platter or large bowl and top with the sliced roast chicken. Scatter with shaved Parmesan, if desired, and serve.
  • Note
  • • The dressing makes enough for one big salad, but I generally just use what I need and keep in the fridge for a week or so. Adapt the quantities depending on how many mouths you want to feed.
