When we lived in Portland, and I when I first went Paleo, I found myself eating at a restaurant with Paleo-friendly menu options located near my work quite a bit. Dick’s Kitchen is in NW Portland on 21st, and not only was it super convenient, but also super easy to find something I could eat. And…they also have dessert options that are Paleo-friendly, so that basically sealed the deal and made me a regular customer! This kale caesar burger bowl was inspired by an item on their menu!
Paleo Caesar Dressing
If you look at the labels for store-bought dressings, you will quickly notice it is a rarity to find one that is clean. Since going Paleo, I’ve found that making your own salad dressing is not only easy, but way more delicious than store-bought! The caesar dressing in this kale caesar burger bowl has quickly become a favorite! We made a traditional caesar salad (sans croutons) to take to our holiday festivities, and it was quickly gobbled up! Everyone loves the dressing!
This recipe calls for anchovy paste and this is the brand I’ve purchased on Amazon.
Simple + Perfect For Everyday
This kale caesar burger bowl is super simple, and I wouldn’t say it is fancy by any means, but it sure is delicious. I could eat it everyday! You can also easily make some quick adds to switch it up from time to time. My favorites are adding a hard-boiled egg or fried egg. I also enjoy adding bacon and tomatoes sometimes as well. The parmesan cheese on top is totally optional, too.
