Instructions

  • In a food processor, blend all ingredients together until creamy and set aside. (you can whisk together as well, using a food processor or blender is just quicker!)
  • To make croutons: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a small saucepan, heat olive oil over medium-low heat and add garlic. Sauté until fragrant, around 3-5 minutes. Place cubed bread in a bowl, drizzle with olive oil and garlic, add sea salt to taste, toss to coat and transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cook for 15-20 minutes or until golden and crispy. Set aside to cool.
  • Add dressing to chopped kale, toss to coat. Top with croutons and enjoy :)

Notes

I hope everyone had a wonderful summer solstice weekend :)
