Notes

  • When broiling the breadcrumbs, make sure not to leave them in there for too long. 1 minute under the broiler on high is enough time to roast the breadcrumbs perfectly. Any longer and they will burn, so keep an eye on them.
  • You can massage the kale, if you wish, by adding it to a bowl with some of the dressing and working it with your hands before assembling your salad. Massaging kale softens it and distributes the flavor of the dressing evenly throughout the leaves, giving the salad even more robust flavor.
  • If you plan to store the dressing before using it, give it another good shake before adding it to your salad just to
