Setting up
- Peel all of the kale leaves then chop them roughly. Break down the goat cheese.
- Cut the figs in small cubes, the chicken in 3 pieces each and the spring onions very finely.
- Slice the bread into the desired shape and sizes for the croutons.
Cooking the chicken and the croutons
- In a bowl, put all the raw bread croutons with the olive oil, garlic salt & pepper. On a cooking pan covered with parchment paper, lay all the croutons, on one layer, and then place in the oven at 400°F for 7-8 mins.
- For the chicken, have a nonstick pan (or even better a cast iron pan) with canola oil at high heat then sear the chicken on each side until golden brown. Lower down the heat then finish the cooking until well done in the pan. Reserve.
Kale salad
- Clean the kale leaves under cold water and then drain them into the Starfrit Salad spinner.
- Put all the ingredients for the vinaigrette into the Stafrit Dressing shaker, make sure it is well mixed.
- Throw everything together while making sure to have the proper amount of vinaigrette into the salad.
Assembly
- In a big salad bowl, put in a nice portion then finish with the garlic croutons, the spring onions and some more feta.
Chef's tip
This recipe is all about the vinaigrette as the kale tends to be very ''present'' in taste and texture!
