Satisfying Caesar kale slaw recipe with garlicky dressing, shredded Parmesan, and crunchy croutons is the perfect year round side dish!
Garlicky Caesar kale slaw combines healthy kale with a luxurious homemade Caesar dressing, buttery Parmesan cheese, and crunchy mini croutons. Who needs a main course when you’ve got a side dish like this??
I know, normally the thought of a kale slaw doesn’t usually set our hearts racing. But this Caesar kale slaw isn’t your typical recipe, it takes its cues from one of the world’s most luxe salads…
Caesar kale slaw (Caesar salad meets kale slaw) is another one of my grocery store salad counter discoveries. I discovered it when we were putting together one of our go-to busy day dinners (broiled salmon + a readymade supermarket salad.) That thick garlicky Caesar dressing, lots of shredded Parm and tiny little crunchy croutons (my addition!) make it so satisfying. This is one summer side you’ll be making all year long. I can’t think of a meal you couldn’t pair it with.
