You'll make more dressing than you need for one batch of salad with this recipe, but that's a good thing—you'll want to keep using it on all your salads all week.

Ingredients

6–8 servings

1 large egg yolk

1 garlic clove, smashed, peeled, and trimmed

3 anchovy fillets, packed in oil, drained

1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice

1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons red wine vinegar

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon colatura (Italian fish sauce; optional)

1/4 teaspoon cayenne

1/2 cup canola oil

1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided

1/2 cup freshly grated grana padano cheese

Kosher salt

Freshly ground black pepper

4 ounces country bread, crusts removed, bread torn into small pieces

Two (5-ounce) containers baby kale

Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F. Pulse egg yolk, garlic, anchovies, lemon juice, vinegar, mustard, oregano, colatura (if using), and cayenne in a food processor or blender until smooth. Combine canola oil and 1/2 cup olive oil in a measuring cup with spout. With the motor running, add blended oil in a very thin stream; purée until a creamy emulsion forms. Add cheese and pulse to combine. Season dressing with salt and pepper.
Step 2
Toss bread with remaining 2 Tbsp. olive oil and spread on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake, tossing once or twice, until crisp and lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Let cool completely.
Step 3
Combine kale and croutons in a large bowl. Add 1/2 cup dressing and toss to combine.
Do ahead
Step 4
Dressing can be made up to 5 days ahead. Refrigerate in an airtight container.

RuthMary - No, kale does not have a bitter coating on it. The reason for massaging any type of kale is to tenderize it.

I think this is the best Ceasar dressing I have ever tasted. Certainly the best I've ever made! I used a kale mix and threw in some diced chicken, it was delicious!

Very, very good "Caesar" salad. Dressing (which is actually a mayo) has a nice zing. Had to make without anchovies or fish sauce because of health issues, but still was AMAZING! (BTW, Worcester sauce has anchovies in it. Note to person in B.C.) Did not rub kale leaves, just took off ribs and used organic, mature kale. Was not too bitter.

An critical step is omitted.....you have to rub the kale before using it. This is labor intensive. Kale has a coating on the leaves that is bitter....you have to rub this off first. Yes, even with baby kale. Definitely NOT a Caesar salad, but an interesting idea. The dressing itself would be good for romaine lettuce, as it was intended before the kale craze.

Made this salad for my spouse. He took one bite and exclaimed about how good the salad dressing was. This was my very first time making a caesar dressing from scratch. Like one of the reviewers suggested, I substituted Worcester sauce for the Colatura. I also forgot to serve the salad with the salt and pepper but it was still delicious. We ate it with Kale but I also bought Romaine for later in the week. There was plenty of dressing left over.

Fantastic. Made the recipe to a T. For the reviewer who is crying about it being kale...the dressing will go perfectly well with romaine.

Just a quick note for those wondering about colatura--I've always made ceaser dressing from scratch because it was what my mother did and the stuff you buy isn't anywhere near as good and this recipe is very, very close to how she makes it (she doubles the garlic, uses anchovy paste for fillets, and uses all lemon juice instead of combining it with red wine vinegar). She has always used Worcestershire sauce! This is probably a good substitution for colatura!

Please, call it kale salad, but do not call it Caesar salad, because it isn't! I would never make this, so can't actually review it. So tired of the kale craze.
