How to Make Lemony Tuscan Kale and Pecorino Salad

1. Kale Prep

Discard the bottom 2 inches of the kale stems. Slice the remaining kale, including the ribs, into 3/4-inch ribbons. You should have about 4 to 5 cups. Place the kale in a large bowl.

2. Breadcrumb Toasting

If using bread, toast until golden on both sides. Tear into small pieces and pulse in a food processor to form coarse crumbs.

3. Garlic Paste

Create a paste with the garlic using a mortar and pestle or the back of a knife; transfer to a small mixing bowl.

4. Dressing Mix

To the garlic paste, add 1/4 cup pecorino cheese, 3 tablespoons olive oil, lemon juice, kosher salt, red pepper flakes, and black pepper. Whisk until combined.

5. Dress Salad

Pour the dressing over the kale and toss thoroughly to ensure the leaves are well coated. The dressing will be thick and require ample tossing.

6. Rest and Garnish

Allow the salad to sit for 5 minutes to let the flavors meld. Serve topped with breadcrumbs, extra pecorino cheese, and a drizzle of olive oil.
