- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon anchovy paste
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- juice of 1 lemon or ~3 tablespoons
- 6 cups chopped or torn kale leaves (recommended: curly kale or lacinato kale)
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
To a small bowl, add the garlic and anchovy paste. Add the lemon juice and whisk to combine. Add the olive oil in a steady stream, while whisking constantly, to incorporate.
To a large mixing bowl, add the kale. Pour the dressing over the kale and toss well to coat the leaves. Add the Parmesan cheese and toss again. Let the salad stand for at least 30 minutes to allow the kale to soften, or better yet — up to 24 hours (covered in the fridge), before serving.
