This Kale Caesar Salad is so delicious and fits the original Daniel Fast. If you have used this recipe before, you'll notice some changes.
A few of my readers called me out on the cheese and I'm grateful. Though I do have other Daniel Fast books I refer to, they are absolutely right in that there should be no dairy in the original diet.
The Spiritual Aspect of The Daniel Fast
Kale Caesar Salad with Chickpeas for The Daniel Fast
What Do I Need to Make Kale Caesar Salad?
How Long Does This Kale Caesar Salad Last
The salad dressing will last for 5 days in the refrigerator. Kale and peppers last for 5-7 days in the refrigerator, and onions last longer, unrefrigerated. You may need to buy more tomatoes, depending on how ripe they were when purchased.
If you plan to have this a few times, double the batch of salad dressing. This would make a delicious salad in a jar to take to work. Just remember to put the dressing in the bottom of a mason jar, and layer the ingredients from the bottom, hard to soft on top.

Looks great, but I am curious how this recipe fits under Daniel Fast with the anchovy paste, the mayo and parmesan cheese? I still want to make it but will get a vegan mayo and just subtract the other 2 ingredients.
Kelly Stilwell
Thanks for your feedback, Stephanie. Since the Daniel Fast craze, other books have come out that do allow dairy. However, because I don't do dairy when I am on the fast and really try to follow the first book, I've updated the recipe to be compliant. I appreciate you calling me out. As for all the other recipes that claim to be Daniel Fast, they are probably using the other books. I just find recipes that work for me and the way I do the fast. Hope this works for you!
