DO NOT come at me with fall BS. Yes, we have months of squash, potatoes and long cook times to come but we still have weeks left of all the best summer produce. Here is a crunchy, filling salad using all the best of the late summer produce to fuel you through your first few days back to work or school. It will make the transition just the slightest bit more enjoyable.

Let’s just absolutely butcher a traditional Caesar salad, shall we? Meet my Caesar-ish Kale and Roasted Broccoli Salad with Avocado and Toasted Walnuts.

Just like my Kale and Brussels Salad Base for All Winter Long, this recipe is simple and versatile, and just as good (if not better) made a few days in advance.
