Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Make the Croutons

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut stale bread into cubes and toss them with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes until golden brown.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced anchovy, garlic, salt, and black pepper until emulsified.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine the chopped kale and the dressing. Massage the dressing into the kale for a few minutes until the leaves are tender. Add the croutons and grated Parmesan cheese, tossing gently to combine.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Divide the salad into serving bowls and top with additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
