Crispy Bacon Kale Caesar Salad

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Some nights throwing together a quick and easy salad just feels right!

The combination of bacon with a traditional caesar salad adds the perfect savory touch with some extra crunch. I like to cook my bacon in the oven on a baking sheet because its quick and low mess! Preheat your oven to 425, put some aluminum foil down and lay bacon strips with about a half inch of space in between. Cook for around 10 minutes but check in frequently as its easy to over cook!

I love kale in a salad and mixing greens makes the perfect texture. Add as much or as little kale as you want and massage it to soften it up a big. To do this you drizzle some olive oil over the kale, and using your hands literally just massage it for about 2 minutes.
