Kale Caesar Salad

Salad

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)

Description

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.
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.
