This salad was inspired by one I had at Love and Salt in Manhattan Beach the other night. IT WAS SO GOOD, I honestly couldn't wait to get home a recreate it! I couldn’t stop thinking about it so I knew I had to try and recreate it. I’m pretty sure I nailed it (at least I got close). This could be a great starter salad or a meal completely on its own! You can add chicken to it if you plan to serve as a meal. Also, this is great dish to bring to a dinner party!
If you've eliminated dairy and gluten like myself, you can substitute the cheese for vegan cheese and the bread crumbs for ground up pork grinds. For vegan cheese, I love the Violife feta cheese. For pork grinds, I go for the Epic brand because they are baked and have no additives.

Recipe details
Ingredients
Salad Ingredients
- 1 large bunch of Black Kale (Lacinato Kale)
- ¼ cup Salami of your choice
- ¼ cup Kalamata Olives
- ¼ cup chopped Castelvetrano Olives
- 3-4 whole pepperoncini
- ¼ cup bread crumbs (I used GF bread here)*
- 1-2 tbsp of crumbled ricotta salata or feta **
The Dressing:
- 2 Tbsp Olive Oil
- Juice of one lemon
- 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1-2 tsp of salt
Instructions
The How To:
- Wash and finely chop your kale, being sure to remove the center rib of each leaf. Add to a larger mixing bowl. Add your olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar and salt and toss the salad, if it seems a bit try, add more olive oil and lemon juice
- Then proceed to chop in slithers, your salami, olives and peppers. Add to the bowl followed by the feta and bread crumbs. Toss it all together and serve!
Tips
- *If you don’t have breadcrumbs, you can throw in day old bread into a food processor and then saute the crumbs on the stove top, in a dry pan.
- ** To make this vegan, replace with vegan feta. To make it whole30, remove the cheese and the bread crumbs.
