Copycat Sweetgreen Kale Caesar Salad

While living in Boston I really enjoyed eating at Sweetgreen. Their kale caesar salad was one of my favorites. After I moved to Kentucky, where there are no Sweetgreen’s, I realized that I had to make a copycat sweetgreen kale caesar salad so I could enjoy it every time I wanted.

This recipe turned out really good! I like to make a large bowl of it so I can enjoy it throughout the week.

I hope you enjoy this as much as I do!

Notes

I don’t really measure any of the ingredients when I make a salad, I usually just put however much of an ingredient I want. Feel free to use more or less of the measurements here.
