Corelife Copycat Kale Caesar Salad
Am I the only one that could eat salads all year round? Especially this Corelife Copycat Caesar Salad. It is the perfect caesar salad. All the flavor without all the fat. I love a good caesar salad but the dressing is usually not the healthiest. That’s what I love about Corelife Eatery, their food is not only delicious, but good for you.
There was a two week period where Me and Austin ate there almost everyday. It’s my favorite place to eat. I love their Spicy Steak and Ginger Noodle bowl. Since we don’t live close anymore I made my own version you can check out here but their caesar salad is my favorite.
What’s inside the Corelife Copycat Caesar Salad
- Kale– I love Kale. I love the taste, flavor, and texture but also love that it is so nutrient dense. If you’re not a fan, feel free to sub for your favorite lettuce. Austin isn’t a big fan so I usually do kale, spinach, and arugula mixed.
- Tomato or red pepper– The original salad from Corelife has tomatoes in it but we aren’t big fans of tomatoes at our house so I typically chop up some red bell pepper instead.
- Parmesan crips– I love the detail of the parmesan crisps and they are so easy to make. If you’re in a rush, feel free to skip them and just top your salad with some freshly grated parmesan.
- Grilled chicken– I’m sure any meat you wanted to sub in here would be great. Or make this as a side and skip the meat altogether.
- Red onion– Every caesar salad has to have red onion right?
- Caesar dressing– This dressing is the perfect healthy alternative of your typical caesar dressing. I love making a little extra and keeping it in the fridge for salads throughout the week.
