Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place the garlic bread on a lightly oiled baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, about 12 minutes. 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 with the garlic bread on the side.

Recipe Tips

For extra crunch, toast the pumpkin seeds separately before adding to the salad.

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

FAQ

Can I add protein to this meal?

Absolutely! Grilled chicken, shrimp or tofu make great additions. Simply cook your protein of choice and serve alongside the salad and garlic bread.

How do I store leftovers?

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

Is the salad kit gluten-free?

The salad kit itself may be gluten-free, but check the label. The garlic bread contains wheat, so for a gluten-free version, use gluten-free garlic bread.
