Traditional Caesar salad that uses kale instead of romaine! Makes 4 side-dish portions, but you can make it a main dish meal by topping it with a grilled protein, such as chicken or salmon! You may have leftover dressing, depending on how much you like. It keeps well in the refrigerator for up to a week.

½ cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

2 oil-packed anchovy fillets
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese (Optional)

Directions

Place mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic, anchovies, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper in the bowl of a food processor. Process until smooth. Transfer to a small bowl and stir in grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. Set aside.
