My kids love anything creamy – so much so they’ll even overlook the kale leaves in this dish. Normally they turn their noses up to kale salad, but not when it comes to this Creamy Kale Caesar Salad recipe. Score!
Creamy Kale Caesar Salad
Ingredients
- 1 bunch kale any variety
- 1/3 cup walnuts lightly toasted and roughly chopped (Pine nuts are a great alternative but only use 1/4 cup.)
- ¼ cup sour cream
- ¼ cup parmesan cheese grated
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic minced
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- pepper to taste
Instructions
-
Remove and discard large stems from the kale and shred the remaining leaves. Toss in a large bowl with the toasted walnuts and set aside.
-
In a smaller bowl, whisk together the sour cream, cheese, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper. Pour it over the kale mixture and toss to coat. Serve immediately.

hi:
From the picture it looks like you added grated Parmesan cheese and croutons on top. Is that correct? Do you make your own croutons or have you found a good store bought alternative?
Thanks!
Susan
Hi Susan, those look like the chopped walnuts!
I thought it had croutons too, at first, but based on the recipe I think they are the chopped nuts :).
Hi Lisa! Thanks for sharing this tasty way of enjoying a kale salad :). So easy for lunch.
Thanks for this, Lisa. I have such a hard time getting my kids eat any vegetables other than green beans and peas (better than nothing). I’m a big fan of heavier greens like kale so this will work well.
We hope your kids like it! Green beans and peas are great veggies ;). My son went through a phase of only eating broccoli. They eventually come around.
I made this for lunch today. My husband and I really enjoyed it. The walnuts really make the salad great! Will be making it again!
I just have to say, every Sunday when I ask my husband what he wants to eat for the next week, he always asks for this! I give this salad 5 stars.
Can any leftover dressing be used the following day if kept refrigerated?
Sure, it may have separated but can be reconstituted.
This looks like a delicious dressing recipe, but shouldn’t a caesar dressing have anchovy?
Sure, that is a typical caesar dressing ingredient but I always leave it out, too. ;)
I really want to try this, but my son has nut allergies. I wonder if I can substitute some sort of seeds?
Sure. Pumpkin seeds are a good sub.
