Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup slivered almonds
  • 1 head romaine lettuce
  • 2 stalks curly kale (stems removed)
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes (halved)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup croutons (coarsely chopped)
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 23 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 3/4 cup olive oil
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Begin by cooking chicken strips in a cold skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove them from the skillet, drain on paper towels, and chop into small pieces.
  2. Toast slivered almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat until lightly browned and fragrant; allow to cool.
  3. Chop the kale and romaine into thin strips. In a large mixing bowl, combine cherry tomatoes, cheeses, croutons, toasted almonds, and chicken pieces.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice and minced garlic. Gradually pour in olive oil while whisking continuously until combined; season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly. Serve immediately or refrigerate for later.
