Ingredients
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon anchovy paste
- 1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground fresh black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 clove garlic, grated
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 slices sourdough bread, diced into 1/4-inch pieces
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons plus 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan
- One 5-ounce container baby kale
Instructions
- For the dressing: Whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, Parmesan, olive oil, mustard, anchovy paste, pepper, salt and garlic in a large bowl. Set aside to let the flavors marry.
- For the salad: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the oil and heat another 30 seconds, then add the bread cubes. Cook, tossing often, until the bread cubes are beginning to brown and get crispy, about 6 minutes. Season with the salt and 2 tablespoons Parmesan and cook until the cubes are evenly golden and crispy, another 3 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate and reserve.
- Add the baby kale to the bowl with the dressing. Toss gently to coat. Add the toasted bread and the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan to the salad and toss once again.

During the COVID time, I made this with romaine lettuce. I added some roasted garbanzo beans and it was great!
Amazing dressing!!
Just an amazing Caesar salad. Well done!
Delicious and very easy. My go-to Caesar!!!
Delicious!!! Easy to make and the flavor was amazing. I minced two Italian anchovy fillets jarred in olive oil because I didn’t have anchovy paste. The salad was perfect to serve before a grilled steak.
Really delicious! I did find the dressing to be a bit salty, but perhaps I went a little heavy on the anchovy paste. I will leave the additional salt out next time.
Fantastic recipe! Served it with grilled shrimp! Delish!
So delicious! I added cracked black pepper on the top just because.
Delicious! I skipped making the fresh croutons and cheated with Texas Toast ones due to time restraint, but they are definitely in queue for my next attempt at this recipe. Tasted just like a restaurant salad and would make a nice side for entertaining guests. Give it a go!
