Method

Preparation of Garlic Breadcrumbs

  1. 1

    Make Garlic Breadcrumbs

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine breadcrumbs, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until breadcrumbs are evenly coated with the oil and garlic.

  2. 2

    Bake Breadcrumbs

    Spread the breadcrumb mixture evenly on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown, stirring halfway through to ensure even browning. Remove from the oven and let cool.

Preparation of Dressing

  1. 3

    Make the Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until well combined and emulsified.

Salad Assembly

  1. 4

    Assemble the Salad

    In a large salad bowl, combine the baby kale and anchovy fillets. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat the kale evenly.

  2. 5

    Add Toppings

    Top the salad with the baked garlic breadcrumbs and freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese.
