Instructions
- Combine all dressing ingredients until smooth.
- Wash kale and dry well. Gently "massage" the kale with your hands until the leaves are somewhat softened and a darker green. While this is optional, it makes for a more tender leaf.
- In a large salad bowl, combine kale and croutons. Top with dressing as desired and toss to combine.
- Sprinkle with ⅓ cup parmesan cheese and bacon bits.
Notes
- You may not need all of the dressing in this recipe, leftovers will last about 3 days in the fridge in an airtight container.
- Be sure to cut the spine out of each leaf before tearing it into bite-sized pieces.
- Anchovy adds a salty and briny flavor to the dressing and adding a small amount really boosts the flavor of this dressing. If you literally can’t tolerate anchovy, skip them and add finely minced or chopped capers instead.
