Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F. Place the garlic bread on a lightly oiled baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, about 12 minutes. Once done, cut the garlic bread into slices.
  2. Empty the contents of the salad kit into a large bowl. Drizzle with as much dressing as you like, then toss to evenly coat.
  3. Serve the salad alongside the warm garlic bread slices. Enjoy!

Recipe Tips

For extra crunch, toast the sesame sticks briefly in a dry pan before adding to the salad.

If you prefer a warm salad, gently sauté the kale and cabbage mix for 1-2 minutes before tossing with dressing.
