Time 20m

Yield Serves 2 to 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

Extra virgin olive oil
4 cloves garlic, smashed
Pinch of crushed red pepper
2 slices of day-old Italian bread, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1/2 cup grated Parmigiano
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 to 3 anchovy fillets
2 shakes Worcestershire sauce
Kosher salt
1 bunch of kale, tough stems removed, cut into ribbons

Steps:

  • Coat a large saute pan with olive oil. Toss in half the garlic and the crushed red pepper and bring the pan to medium heat. Cook the garlic until it becomes golden and very aromatic, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the garlic and ditch it-it has fulfilled its garlic destiny. Toss in the bread cubes and cook, stirring frequently, until they are golden, crisp, and have absorbed all the oil, like little olive oil sponges. Remove from the heat and reserve.
  • In the bowl of a food processor, combine the Parmigiano, lemon zest and juice, the remaining garlic, the Dijon, anchovies, and Worcestershire. Puree until the mixture is smooth, 15 to 20 seconds. With the machine running, add 1/4 to 1/3 cup olive oil through the feed tube. Let the processor continue to run for another 10 to 15 seconds. Taste and season with salt if needed.
  • In a large bowl, toss the kale with the croutons and two-thirds of the dressing. Let the kale sit for 3 to 4 minutes to soften. Taste, add the remaining dressing, and adjust the seasoning if needed.

I'm not a big fan of kale, but this salad was actually really good. The dressing was really flavorful and the kale was crispy and fresh.

I found the recipe to be a bit confusing and the salad didn't turn out as well as I hoped. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

The dressing was a bit too heavy for my taste, but the salad was still good.

I was a bit skeptical about using kale in a caesar salad, but I was pleasantly surprised. The kale was actually really good and added a nice crunch to the salad.

This is the best kale caesar salad I've ever had. The dressing is perfectly balanced and the kale is tender and flavorful.

I've made this salad several times now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The dressing is so good that I've even used it on other salads.

This kale caesar salad was a hit with my family! The dressing was creamy and flavorful, and the kale was crispy and fresh. I added some grilled chicken to make it a complete meal.
