Salad Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Kale

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add a splash of olive oil. Once hot, add the kale and sauté for about 3-5 minutes until wilted. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.

    In a small bowl, mash the anchovy fillets and minced garlic clove together until well combined. Stir in the Dijon mustard and red wine vinegar until smooth.
