Kale caesar salad

Serves 4 15 min

A recipe by James Dodd, head chef at The Field Kitchen. This dish is always a hit with diners. Leaving the salad to sit for 15 minutes before serving allows the acidity to take away the raw taste and texture from the kale.

Method

Prep time: 15 min

  • Step 1

    Add all of the ingredients (except for the oil and kale) into a blender. Make sure the eggs are just poached and still hot. Blend.

  • Step 2

    Slowly add the oil, bit by bit until smooth and completely blended.

  • Step 3

    Toss with the kale and leave to sit for about 15 minutes before serving.

  • Step 4

    Top with croutons and a hard cheese, like Parmesan, or whatever takes your fancy. Keep any leftover dressing in a fridge and use within a few days.
