Ingredients

1 large free-range egg
2 teaspoons dijon mustard
3 fillets anchovies
2 cloves garlic
1 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, to taste
kosher salt, to taste
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
6 oz whole grain wheat bread, 1 loaf, cut into bite-size cubes
olive oil, to taste
1 teaspoon italian seasoning
1 pinch kosher salt
1 lb wild-caught shrimp, (about 21 or 25) peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 lemon, zested
kosher salt, to taste
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
12 cups kale, mixed, stemmed and sliced into ribbons
kosher salt, to taste
1 avocado, pitted and thinly sliced
¾ cup pomegranate seeds
½ cup parmesan cheese, shaved

Steps:

Make the dressing: Add the egg, Dijon mustard, anchovy fillets, and garlic to a blender. Blend for about 1 minute, until smooth and creamy. With the blender running, slowly pour in the olive oil and blend until thick and emulsified. Season the dressing to taste with lemon juice, salt, and pepper, and quickly pulse to incorporate. Set aside. The dressing can be made ahead. Store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
Make the croutons: In a 3-quart (3 L) mixing bowl, combine the bread, olive oil, and Italian seasoning. Toss to coat the bread cubes.
Heat a medium pan over medium heat. Add the bread cubes, in batches if necessary to keep from overcrowding the pan. Toast, tossing occasionally, until crispy and golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove from the pan and season with salt. Set aside. The croutons can be made ahead. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to 4 days.
Make the shrimp: In a medium bowl, combine the shrimp, olive oil, garlic, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat the shrimp.
Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, cook the shrimp for 2 minutes on each side, until pink and opaque. Remove from the pan.
Thoroughly wash and dry the kale. Add to a large bowl and season with salt. Gently massage the kale to break down some of the fibrous texture. Toss with a bit of dressing to coat the leaves, then add more to taste.
Add the croutons, shrimp, avocado, pomegranate seeds, and Parmesan. Toss well.
Divide between bowls and serve immediately.
Enjoy!

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 pound (about 2 bunches) Tuscan kale
1 cup grated Parmesan
1/2 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
3 cloves garlic, grated
2 anchovy filets
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper

Steps:

Stem the kale and cut it into a chiffonade. Wash and dry thoroughly, then add to a large bowl.
Combine the Parmesan, mayonnaise, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, anchovies, lemon zest and juice in a large bowl and whisk until smooth. Taste, then add salt and pepper if needed. Pour the dressing over the kale and toss until coated. Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 3 hours.

Tips:

Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your salad.
Don't overcook the shrimp. Shrimp cooks quickly, so it's important to watch it carefully to avoid overcooking.
Make sure the kale is massaged before adding it to the salad. This will help to soften the kale and make it more palatable.
Use a good quality Caesar dressing. You can make your own or use a store-bought dressing.
Serve the salad immediately. This will help to prevent the kale from wilting.

Conclusion:

Shrimp kale Caesar salad is a delicious and healthy salad that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It's packed with protein, vitamins, and minerals, and it's also low in calories. Plus, it's quick and easy to make, so it's a great option for busy weeknights.
