Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Arrange bacon slices in single layer on baking sheet; bake, checking often, for 10 to 12 minutes or until bacon is crispy and golden brown. Drain bacon on paper towel; tear into pieces. Reserve baking sheet with bacon drippings.

Toss bread cubes with bacon drippings, half of the garlic, and 1/4 tsp (1 mL) salt and pepper on reserved baking sheet until well coated. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown and toasted.

Whisk together lemon juice, mustard, remaining garlic, salt and pepper until blended. Whisk in oil and 1/2 cup (125 mL) Parmesan cheese.

Toss kale and parsley leaves with 1/3 cup (75 mL) dressing until lightly coated. Transfer remaining dressing to small serving bowl. Arrange salad, croutons, bacon, remaining Parmesan and remaining dressing on serving platter in deconstructed-style plating, laying out ingredients separately so that guests can build their own salad. Sprinkle each serving with lemon zest.
