Okay so hopefully the fact that the word KALE in the title didn’t frighten you away, because this salad is legit! Green goddess dressing is my favorite condiment for spring and summer as it’s packed full of fresh herb flavors. I had originally tweaked the dressing in an effort to come close to a few of the flavors I found in St. Louis. Back then, I loved to use this dressing to make a cobb salad of sorts with little gem lettuce or as a nice dip for Crudités. But then that all changed when I stopped at a little restaurant across the street from the French Laundry in Yountville, CA, just outside of Napa. While I wasn’t a fan of their version of green goddess (I think someone said theirs was just avocado and lemon), I was blown away by how well everything paired with kale, grapefruit, and candied walnuts. Completely mindfucked, I sought to combine everything into the ultimate salad.

Some of these herbs can sometimes be tricky to find all at once, but I really recommend you don’t skip anything. For the yogurt, I recommend not using Greek and definitely go full fat! If you do use Greek, you may need to add a little water or it will be awfully thick. This should make enough for about 2-3 salads. When slicing the kale, try to go super thin to maximize surface area with the dressing! Example image below.
