The croutons make this salad. They’re garlicky, cheesy, and just taste soo good. Super easy to make as well.

Just cut up some French bread, toss it with some garlic, olive oil, parmesan, and parlsey. Bake for 15 minutes, and you have the best croutons ever.

Don’t discard the pieces that fall off the croutons while you’re baking them. Sprinkle it allllll in the salad. πŸ™‚

You may be wondering what’s the difference between kale and baby kale. Baby kale is more tender and doesn’t need to be massaged or finely chopped before adding into a salad.

You don’t need to remove the stalks either. I like it because it’s easy to work with, and it’s another healthy salad green for my arsenal.

Garlic Parmesan Croutons!

This salad is somewhat reminiscent of Caesar salad, but it has its own little spin.

The tahini gives it a unique taste and creaminess without mayo.

I rarely use tahini for anything other than hummus. I did make a grilled eggplant salad last summer with a tahini dressing, and I think that’s the last time that happened.

I really need to explore it more in other recipes!
