\"Kale<\/p>\n

January being the month of health has meant Salad has been the order of the day for a few weeks now in our house. So as you can imagine, the same sort of salads have been doing the rounds.<\/span><\/p>\n

However this Saturday after a hefty 2 hour gym session, I wanted something healthyish (basically didn’t want to undo all that good word) but at the same time I fancied a bit of an indulgence, something that packed a real punch in the flavour department.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A few days before I had seen this Smokey Kale and Caesar Salad and decided to give it a try. I mainly for the dressing – I always make one of two dressings you see, and Caesar isn’t one of them.<\/span><\/p>\n

This dressing <\/a>seemed to be the answer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So Kale Caesar Salad it was – obviously with a few amendments \u2013 nix the croutons and cheese, add in tomatoes, avocado, pepper and now we have a salad going. And boy did it pack a punch in the flavour department. And even better news it was filling. A truly satisfying meal on all accounts. So next time you fancy an indulgent but semi-healthy salad why not give this a try.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Ingredients
\n<\/em><\/span>1 bag of chopped Curly Kale ( Alternatively chop the kale yourself)
\n<\/span>2 Peppers (1 Yellow, 1 Red)
\n<\/span>1 Avocado
\n<\/span>4 Tomatoes<\/span><\/p>\n

For dressing<\/span>
\n1 tbsp Lemon Juice<\/span>
\n2 cloves Garlic<\/span>
\n1 Egg<\/span>
\n1 tbsp Red Wine Vinegar<\/span>
\n3 Anchovy filets<\/span>
\n1 \u00bd tsp Dried Chilli Powder<\/span>
\n1 \u00bd tsp Paprika<\/span>
\nSalt and Pepper<\/span>
\n50 ml Olive Oil\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Method<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Squeeze some lemon on to your kale and mix \u2013 leave for about 30mins<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. In the meantime chop your other salad ingredients into chunks<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. For the dressing mix the lemon juice, vinegar, garlic, anchovies, chilli powder and paprika in a small blender, add the oil and egg and blitz until everything is combined. Season with salt and pepper<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Check the seasoning, then add your salad vegetables, and dressing to the kale and give it a good mix<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Delicious, indulgent, semi healthy and just plain good. Perfect Saturday lunch fodder! \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
