How many does this feed?
it made 4 very large portions for me
what would you reccomend to make this vegetarian? i’m fine with omitting the chicken breast completely, but what would be a good replacement for the prosciutto?
Where do you find Calabrian chili paste?
They sell Calabrian chili paste at Trader Joe’s and it has a nice price point.
This is so damn good. Served as part of Christmas dinner and 12/10 phenomenal.
I liked this salad but it was nothing special in my opinion. The family all liked it and it’s a good kale salad.
My significant other got down on one knee and proposed to me all over again after reading this 😅
Oop tasting***
This was super good, even with a few modifications that I made
I never comment on stuff but this salad was literally life-changing! I will be making it very often!
