  3. Mix the smashed Garlic with 1/4 cup Olive Oil, Salt and Pepper
  4. Toss the Bread Cubes in the Oil and toss onto a large sheet pan
  5. Toast in the oven 6-8 minutes until they are light brown and crunchy
  6. Mix all the dressing ingredients in the Vitamix except the Olive Oil
  7. With the motor running on low, gradually add in the Olive Oil to emulsify the dressing
  8. Rise the Kale and cut out the tough bit of middle rib
  9. Drop the Kale into the boiling water and blanch for 2-3 minutes (depending on freshness)
  10. When the Kale is bright green and tender, remove immediately and rinse in very cold water
  11. Drain the Kale and pat dry
  12. Toss the Kale in a bowl (use the same bowl as the croutons) with a very light coating of olive oil
  13. Transfer to a hot grill and cook, turning several times with tongs until the edges are browned with a little crunch, about 3-5 minutes
  14. Arrange the Kale on individual plates, top with Grilled Chicken, a splash of Dressing, Parmesan Shavings and the Croutons. Season with Ground Pepper
