Scale
- 1 bunch Kale, stems removed
- 1/2 cup Grated Parmesan
- 1 Tbls Dijon Mustard
- Zest and Juice of 1 Lemon
- 3 Anchovies
- 2 Shakes Worcestershire Sauce
- 1/4 cup Sesame Oil
- 1/2 cup Sliced Almonds
Instructions
- Wash the kale and let it dry. Cut the large, tough stems from the center of each leaf. Roll the leaves up tightly and make thin cuts perpendicular to the roll to get very thin strips of kale leaf. Put the cut leaves in a large mixing bowl.
- Add the grated Parmesan cheese to a mini food processor or blender. Add the Dijon mustard, lemon zest and juice, anchovies and Worcestershire sauce. Blend until smooth.
- Add the sesame oil to the dressing mix and blend for 15 to 20 seconds until you have a smooth, creamy dressing.
- Add the sliced almonds to the kale.
- Add half the dressing to the kale leaves and mix it in well. Use you hands and massage the dressing into the leaves. Add the other half of the dressing and mix that in the same way. Spending a little time massaging the kale will make it more tender.
- Let the dressing rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
- Serve with gluten free croutons if desired. garnish with edible flowers.
