烟熏,烧焦的Broccolini和鹰嘴豆给这个take on Caesar salad the heft it needs to be a main course. Texture is the secret to a salad’s wow factor. Here, Little Gem lettuces, hearty kale, and crisp-tender Broccolini bring three levels of crunch, and provide plenty of leafy nooks and crannies to catch the thick, anchovy-laced dressing.
I have made this several times. Always cut it in half, sometimes with the chickpeas, sometimes without. I make home made croutons and only used the little Gem lettuce once as it's very expensive here. A mix of other lettuce is fine. Excellent, hearty salad.
Yes! I ate this as a side salad with salmon for dinner, and then the next day on its own for lunch. Full disclosure, I did NOT make the homemade dressing but just used store-bought creamy Caesar. Still great though! The charred broccolini really is the star of the show, and kind of fills the void where croutons normally would be, but with more flavor and nutrients!
