- Prep the Kale:
- Add baby kale to a large bowl. Massage lightly with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt to tenderize (especially if using curly kale).
- Assemble the Salad:
- To the kale, add your pre made caesar kit romain, chopped tomatoes, Caesar dressing, parmesan crisps, and croutons. Toss until evenly coated.
