Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Croutons

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

  2. 2

    Make the Dressing

    In a blender, combine the anchovy fillets, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth. Adjust seasoning with black pepper and more salt if needed.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Kale

    Wash and dry the kale. Remove the stems and tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces. In a large bowl, massage the kale with a little olive oil and salt to soften it.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Salad

    Add the pepperoncini and croutons to the kale. Drizzle with the anchovy dressing and toss to combine. Top with grated Parmesan cheese.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve immediately as a side or a main dish.
