Ingredients

4 servings
  • 5 -6 cups roughly-chopped dinosaur (lacinato) kale leaves, tough stems removed
  • 4 cups roughly-chopped Romaine lettuce
  • 1 cup fried tortilla strips, homemade* or storebought
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
  • 1/3 cup toasted pepitas (hulled pumpkin seeds)
  • 1 avocado, peeled, pitted and thinly sliced
  • 1 batch Greek Yogurt Caesar Dressing (which I recommend making with lime juice, instead of lemon juice, for this recipe)
  • crumbled cotija cheese or queso fresco

Steps

  1. Combine kale, Romaine, tortilla strips, cilantro, pepitas, and avocado in a large mixing bowl.

  2. Drizzle evenly with the Caesar dressing, and toss to combine.

  3. Serve immediately, sprinkled with crumbled cotija or queso fresco.
