Whole30 Italian-Style Chicken and Kale Caesar

Total Time 25 minutes

Ingredients  

Caesar Dressing

  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp anchovy paste
  • 2 cloves garlic chopped
  • 1.5 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp mustard powder
  • 1/2 lemon juiced
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 1 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
  • 3/4 tsp kosher salt

Salad

  • 3 kale bunches destemmed and chopped
  • 3 Whole30 Italian-Style Chicken breasts drained from marinade and sliced
  • 3 tbsp sliced almonds toasted

Instructions

Prepare the Dressing

  • PLACE everything except the oil and chicken in a blender or food processor.
  • START on a very low speed and slowly stream in the olive oil. Be careful not to pour the oil in too fast, as it will break the emulsion.
  • ONCE the oil has been added and the emulsion is still intact, the dressing is ready to use.

Assemble

  • COAT kale with the dressing and massage it in with your hands to tenderize the greens. Let sit for 5 minutes to marinate and help break down the kale.
  • DIVIDE salad onto three plates, then top with the sliced chicken.
  • GARNISH with toasted sliced almonds and serve!
