Kale Caesar Salad with Massaged Leaves
Inspired by techniques from Serious Eats, America's Test Kitchen and NYT Cooking.
This follows the classic Caesar method — the same croutons and creamy anchovy-mayonnaise dressing — but swaps romaine for massaged raw kale, which rests in the dressing for 20 minutes to soften further.
