Kale Salad with Garlic Bread Crumbs

Prep Time 20 minutes
Servings 2

Ingredients

Garlic Bread Crumbs:

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • ½ cup panko bread crumbs

Dressing:

  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 small clove garlic minced (add more or less depending on much garlic you like)
  • ¼ cup grated parmesan
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon anchovy paste optional

Salad:

  • 1 bunch of lacinato kale cut into ribbons
  • Parmesan for topping
  • Black Pepper for topping

Instructions

Dressing:

  • Combine all dressing ingredients into a bowl and whisk to combine

Kale Base:

  • Add the dressing and kale into a bowl. Using your hands, massage the kale with the dressing and then let sit for 5-10 minutes. This process will slightly break down the kale so it is easier to eat

Garlic Toasted Bread Crumbs:

  • On medium heat, add butter into a small saucepan
  • Grate garlic into the butter with a microplane
  • Stir until fragrant, ~1 minutes
  • Add breadcrumbs to the garlic butter and toast until golden, ~2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside

Assembly:

  • Top the kale base with toasted bread crumbs, parmesan, and black pepper
