Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/4 cup red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
4 anchovies, drained and/or rinsed
1 large egg yolk, preferably pasteurized
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
1 clove garlic, roughly chopped
3/4 cup olive oil, or more as needed
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
Hot sauce, as desired
8 to 10 cups bite-size pieces dinosaur kale (stems removed)
Juice of 1 lemon
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1/2 cup grated Pecorino-Romano cheese (you can substitute Parmesan)
1 cup croutons

Steps:

  • For the dressing: Put the vinegar, Parmesan, Worcestershire, anchovies, egg yolk, lemon zest and juice and garlic in a blender and blend to combine. With the blender running, slowly drizzle in the oil to emulsify. Season with salt, pepper and hot sauce (if desired). Note: if the dressing is too thick, you can thin it by adding a few drops of water while the blender is running.
  • For the salad: Put the baby kale in a large mixing bowl and add the lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Using your hands, gently massage the kale with the lemon juice for 1 minute, then allow to sit for 5 minutes. Dress to taste with the Caesar dressing and additional salt and pepper. Serve in individual bowls topped with the Pecorino-Romano and croutons.
  • Any extra dressing can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

This salad was just okay. The dressing was a bit bland and the kale was a bit tough. I think I would have preferred a more flavorful dressing and a more tender kale.

This salad was a great way to use up some leftover kale. The dressing was tasty and the kale was crispy. I would definitely make this again.

This salad was a bit too heavy for my taste. The dressing was very rich and creamy, and the kale was a bit tough. I think I would have preferred a lighter dressing and a more tender kale.

Not a fan of kale, but this salad was surprisingly good! The dressing was really tasty and the kale was actually kind of crispy. I would definitely make this again.

I tried this recipe and it was delicious! The kale was a bit tough, but I think that was because I didn't massage it enough. Otherwise, the flavors were great and the dressing was perfect. I'll definitely be making this again!
