When the weather begins to get warmer I start to crave salads and there’s nothing easier than a main dish salad that includes all the elements of a meal! This Kale Caesar Salad is filled with chicken, delicious homemade croutons, avocado, and lots of freshly grated Parmesan! Lemon juice and zest give it a freshness that really brings the flavors together! It may seem like this salad has lots of steps, but it really comes together easily, especially if you’ve already grilled your chicken or if you use rotisserié chicken!

If you have the time, the homemade croutons are definitely worth making because they are soooo much better than the store bought ones! This salad also holds up pretty well if you have leftovers because the kale doesn’t wilt easily, but I doubt you’ll have any leftovers at all! I know you’ll love this delicious salad as much as I do!

The over-the-top gorgous flowers are from a local flower farm called Rodwell Roots and I arranged them in a vase from Haand! Don’t forget to use code CRAZYBLONDELIFE for 15% off your order from Haand!

I’ve shared my salad bowl several times, but just in case you missed it, it’s from a fabulous little boutique in Richmond Virginia called Creme de la Creme! I use this bowl so often and it’s perfect for serving this salad! This size is the smaller of the two they have in stock and I really want a big one next because, my family is growing and I’m going to need a big bowl! I hope you’ve enjoyed this post! Please let me know if there are any recipes you would like to see here! I’m very excited about spring and cooking with fresh local ingredients!

I’m going to be cooking a lot more in the near future and I’ve been thinking about doing some cooking classes on Zoom! I’d love to know if anyone would be interested in these? I think it would be a way to show more in depth videos and explain more complicated processes! Leave a comment and let me know if you’d be interested! Thanks for reading and Happy Saturday!
