Garlicky Citrus Dressing

By this point in your life, you’ve probably heard of kale. And, if you’ve heard of kale, you’ve most definitely heard of and been enchanted by the kale caesar salad trend that swept the nation about 6 years ago.

Same, and while I LOVE caesar dressing, I realized I desperately needed to pivot away from the kale caesar and did so by creating this Garlicky Citrus dressing. Think of it as caesar’s younger sister. She’s spunkier, has an acidic sense of humor, and gets along with everyone! You’re gonna love her and invite her to every party.
