This is perhaps the best salad dressing I make and, while it’s fabulous on crunchy romaine in the classic caesar salad, my favorite is this Clean Kale Caesar Salad. Just make sure to massage the dressing into the kale to tenderize the kale and infuse it with the lemony goodness. Add some croutons and shaved parmesan on top and….chef’s kiss!!
Clean Kale Caesar Dressing
¼ c. extra virgin olive oil
Juice of 1 lemon
1 clove of garlic, minced
½ tsp. Anchovy paste
½ tsp. Dijon mustard
1 Tbsp. grated parmesan-reggiano cheese
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Kale Salad
2-3 cups of chopped kale (leaves only)
Croutons
Additional parmesan (optional, but I love a some extra shaved parmesan to sprinkle on top of the salad)
Instructions
Prepare clean caesar dressing and set aside. Place the kale in the bowl and add dressing to taste. Massage dressing into the kale leaves, then add croutons and additional parmesan cheese, if desired.
