I love a good Caesar Salad. Let me tell you this salad does not dissapoint!

I decided to use Kale instead of the typical Romaine Lettuce. The Kale leaves hold up so much better after the dressing is mixed in. In fact this salad tasted just as good if not better the next day, so you could definitely use this recipe for meal prepping!

If you do this as a meal prep, just add the croutons before eating so they don’t get soggy.

The homemade dressing for this is super simple to make and tastes way better than any store bought salad dressing.

I used  Garlic, Anchovies, Lemon Juice, Dijon Mustard, Salt, Pepper, Parmesan, and EVOO. Blended it all in a food processor until creamy, the mixed it into the Kale Leaves making sure they were all evenly coated.

I saved a few Anchovies to put into this salad for some extra bold flavor. Then added some freshly baked croutons (I chopped up a Udi’s french baguette to make these). Mixed in some Roasted Spicy Chickpeas, and topped with freshly shredded Parmesan.

You guys… I’m completely obsessed with this Kale Caesar Salad!

I hope you guys love this Kale Caesar Salad with Spicy Roasted Chickpeas as much as I did! It’s:

If you want to serve this as a side salad, it pairs well with my Air Fryer Keto Crab Cakes, Butternut Squash Chicken Chili or Creamy Chicken Sausage and Spinach Pasta!
