Yield Makes 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
8 anchovy fillets packed in oil, drained
1 garlic clove
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan, divided
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 hard-boiled egg, peeled
14 ounces Tuscan kale or other kale, center stalks removed, thinly sliced crosswise (about 8 cups)
**Ingredient Info:**Tuscan kale-also called cavolo nero, Lacinato, black kale, or dinosaur kale-has long, narrow, bumpy dark-green leaves. You can find it at better supermarkets and at farmers' markets.

Steps:

  • Combine the first 4 ingredients in a blender; purée until smooth. With machine running, slowly add oil, drop by drop, to make a creamy dressing. Transfer dressing to a bowl and stir in 1/4 cup Parmesan. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and chill. DO AHEAD: Dressing can be made 2 days ahead. Keep chilled.
  • Separate egg white from yolk. Place egg white in a coarse-mesh strainer set over a bowl. Press egg white through strainer with the back of a spoon; scrape egg white from bottom of strainer. Repeat with egg yolk, using a clean strainer and bowl. DO AHEAD: Can be made 6 hours ahead. Cover bowls separately and chill.
  • Toss kale and dressing in a large bowl to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Top with remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan and sieved eggs.

This salad was a bit bland. I think it needed more seasoning.

I'm not a fan of kale, but I thought I'd give this recipe a try. I was pleasantly surprised! The kale was actually very tender and flavorful.

This salad was a bit too tangy for my taste. I think I would have preferred a more creamy dressing.
