Tuscan Kale Ceasar Slaw -- From Epicurious.com


Makes: 4 to 6 servings

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 8 anchovy fillets packed in oil, drained (optional)
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 - 3/4 cup finely grated Parmesan, divided
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 hard-boiled egg, peeled
  • 14 ounces Tuscan kale or other kale, center stalks removed, thinly sliced crosswise (about 8 cups)
  • Ingredient Info:Tuscan kale—also called cavolo nero, Lacinato, black kale, or dinosaur kale—has long, narrow, bumpy dark-green leaves. You can find it at better supermarkets and at farmers’ markets.

Directions:

Combine the first 4 ingredients in a blender; purée until smooth. With machine running, slowly add oil, drop by drop, to make a creamy dressing. Transfer dressing to a bowl and stir in 1/4 cup Parmesan. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and chill. DO AHEAD: Dressing can be made 2 days ahead. Keep chilled.
Separate egg white from yolk. Place egg white in a coarse-mesh strainer set over a bowl. Press egg white through strainer with the back of a spoon; scrape egg white from bottom of strainer. Repeat with egg yolk, using a clean strainer and bowl. DO AHEAD: Can be made 6 hours ahead. Cover bowls separately and chill.
Toss kale and dressing in a large bowl to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Top with remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan and sieved eggs.
