Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Kale

    Wash the kale thoroughly under running water. Remove the tough stems and tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces. Pat dry with a clean kitchen towel or use a salad spinner to remove excess moisture.

  2. 2

    Make the Croutons

    Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the bread into cubes and place them in a bowl. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly. Spread the bread cubes on a baking sheet and bake for about 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic (if desired), salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine the kale, croutons, and grated Parmesan cheese. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss thoroughly to ensure everything is evenly coated.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Divide the salad onto plates and enjoy immediately while the croutons are still crispy.
