New Meal Monday: Grilled Chicken Kale Caesar Salad

Every Sunday my wife and I try and plan out what we'll be having for dinner the coming week.  This allows us to plan ahead and ensure we minimize the number of trips we have to make to the grocery store.  She almost always suggests a salad for dinner for at least one meal.
I don't know about everyone else, but I typically think of a salad as either a side, or as something I eat before dinner--like to warm up before the main meal, but I don't usually think of as the meal.  Except for this salad we made recently--a Kale Caesar Salad topped with Grilled Chicken.
We made our own dressing, and homemade croutons and that really made a big difference!
Below is how we made the croutons, the dressing and the chicken. This is designed for about 4 large dinner salads.
We like to measure out how much greens we want based on how big a salad we want, and we went with equal parts kale and romaine.  Likely about 4 Cups of Kale and 4 Cups of Romaine but scale up or down based on your preference.
Once everything below is prepped, toss the greens in a large bowl with croutons and dressing till well mixed and serve. Top salads with grilled chicken.

Croutons:

• 5 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

How you'll do it:

1. Combine 1 Tbsp oil and garlic in a bowl
2. In separate bowl toss bread with salt and water
3. Combine remaining oil and bread in 12" nonstick skillet and cook medium heat until browned an crisp
4. Off heat clear middle of skillet and garlic mixture.
5. Cook with remaining heat until fragrant (about 10 seconds)

(Instead of mixing with whisk, you can use a blender or food processor.  Use dressing right away, or refrigerate to chill and whisk lightly before use)
