I have a real love/hate relationship with kale. Lets just say, there was a time when I overdid it, I mean kale.in.everything. It got old, I couldn’t even bear the sight of it at the end of harvest season, but waste not, want not. Yes, and it was this salad that reunited us and turned it all around. Because kale is big and bold and it needs a creamy tangy counterpart to overtake it. Or else, it can kind of overpower, especially when raw. I recommend thinly slicing the kale into little ribbons so that they are absolutely covered in the creamy caesar goodness.
