This kale is treated like romaine lettuce in a caesar salad. The bitterness of the greens is delicious alongside the rich, fatty dressing. You could also use Swiss chard.

I made it recently and doubled the recipe and it kept very well in the fridge. Keep reading

This is the third day of noodle salads for a week’s worth of different noodle-based lunches. See the full post with all recipe links here.
