Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 clove garlic, finely grated
1/3 cup grated Parmesan
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 anchovies, minced
1 small clove garlic, finely grated
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 medium bunches lacinato kale, center stems removed and leaves thinly sliced

Steps:

  • For the topping: Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the panko and cook, stirring constantly, until light golden brown, about 3 minutes. Push the panko to one side and add the remaining tablespoon oil to the skillet. Add the garlic directly to the oil and cook, stirring it into the oil, about 30 seconds. Mix the garlic into the panko and continue to cook until the panko is golden brown, about 1 minute more. Transfer to a bowl and cool, then stir in the Parmesan.
  • For the Caesar dressing and salad: In a small jar with a lid, combine the lemon juice, mayonnaise, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, anchovies, garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a generous amount of black pepper. Add in the oil and shake until emulsified.
  • Put the kale in a large bowl. Pour the dressing over the kale and toss to coat. Let stand 5 minutes. Sprinkle the toasted panko mixture over the kale.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover kale. I also like to add roasted chickpeas or quinoa for extra protein.

This salad was easy to make and very tasty. I used store-bought croutons instead of making my own panko crunch, and it still turned out great.
