Ingredients
- 2 hearts Romaine lettuce
- 1 bunch Kale
- 1 pound Cooked shrimp or cooked crab meat
- 0.5 cup Caesar dressing
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 cup Garlic croutons
- 1 Lemon
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
Directions
Step 1
Wash the romaine lettuce hearts and kale thoroughly under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Remove the stems from the kale.
Step 2
Stack several leaves of romaine and kale together, roll them tightly into a cigar-like shape, and slice thinly to create chiffonade (thin ribbons). Repeat until all greens are shredded.
Step 3
Place the shredded greens in a large mixing bowl and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sprinkle with the salt and black pepper, then toss gently to evenly coat the greens.
Step 4
If using shrimp, ensure they are cooked, peeled, and deveined. If using crab, ensure it is cooked and picked over for shells. Set aside your protein of choice.
Step 5
Add the Caesar dressing to the greens and toss thoroughly until all ribbons are coated evenly.
Step 6
Zest the lemon over the salad and squeeze half of the lemon’s juice over the greens for brightness. Toss again gently.
Step 7
Transfer the greens to a large serving platter or individual plates.
Step 8
Top the salad with the cooked shrimp or crab meat, arranging them attractively over the greens.
Step 9
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the salad and finish with the garlic croutons for crunch.
Step 10
Serve immediately and enjoy!
