Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the garlic bread on a lightly oiled baking sheet. Bake until golden brown and crispy, about 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and cut into slices.

  3. Serve the salad alongside the warm garlic bread slices. Enjoy immediately.

Recipe Tips

For extra crunch, toast the cashews from the salad kit in a dry pan for a minute before adding.

If you prefer a warmer salad, you can briefly sauté the kale and cabbage before tossing with dressing.

Pair with grilled chicken or tofu for a more substantial meal.

FAQ

Can I add protein to this meal?

Absolutely! Grilled chicken, shrimp or tofu make great additions to turn this into a heartier dish.

How do I store leftovers?

Store the salad and garlic bread separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator. The bread can be reheated in the oven for a few minutes.

Is this recipe gluten-free?

The garlic bread contains wheat, so it is not gluten-free. However, you can substitute with a gluten-free garlic bread if desired.
