I love this kale Caesar salad made with lovely dark green kale leaves and a homemade Caesar salad dressing that's easy to make in minutes in a blender. Sprinkle croutons and shaved Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese on top, and it's ready to serve!

Ingredients

 

  • ½ cup mayonnaise

  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 2 oil-packed anchovy fillets

  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese (Optional)

  • 1 bunch kale, ribs removed and leaves torn into pieces

  • 1 cup Caesar salad croutons

  • 2 tablespoons shaved Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese (Optional)

Method

  1. Place mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic, anchovies, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper in the bowl of a food processor. Process until smooth. Transfer to a small bowl and stir in grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. Set aside.

  2. Place kale in a large salad bowl. Using your hands, massage the kale to soften slightly. Add a few dollops of the dressing on top of the kale, and stir until all pieces are lightly coated with the dressing. Sprinkle with croutons and top with shaved Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.
