A refreshing and flavorful kale salad with a zesty lemon dressing and a touch of Parmesan.
Trim the kale leaves from their stems and slice them into thin ribbons.
Slicing the kale thinly helps to make it more tender and easier to eat.
In a small bowl, whisk together the garlic, Parmesan cheese, olive oil, lemon zest, salt, red pepper flakes, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Let the dressing sit for a minute to allow the flavors to meld together.
Pour the dressing over the kale and toss thoroughly to coat all the leaves.
Massaging the dressing into the kale helps to soften the leaves and enhance their flavor.
Top the salad with toasted bread crumbs for added crunch.
Toast the bread crumbs in a dry pan for a few minutes to enhance their flavor.
Serve the salad immediately and enjoy its fresh and zesty flavors.
For an extra touch, drizzle a little more olive oil over the salad before serving.
