Tuscan Kale Caesar Slaw

This vibrant Tuscan kale Caesar slaw offers a modern, nutrient-dense twist on the traditional salad. By using cavolo nero—also known as black or dinosaur kale—this vegetarian-friendly dish gains a robust texture that holds up beautifully against a rich, punchy dressing. The combination of citrusy lemon, salty anchovies and nutty Parmesan creates a deeply savoury profile that perfectly complements the dark, earthy leaves.

Ideal as a sophisticated side dish for grilled meats or as a standalone light lunch, this slaw benefits from being prepared slightly in advance, allowing the flavours to meld. The addition of sieved hard-boiled egg provides a delicate, mimosa-style finish that makes it feel truly special. It is a simple yet elegant way to enjoy seasonal greens throughout the year.
