Jean-Georges Vongerichten'S Kale Salad With Parmesan And Lemon Recipe

• 4 tablespoons fresh juice and 1 tablespoon zest from 2 to 3 lemons
• 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
• 1 small clove garlic, minced (about 1/2 teaspoon)
• 1 anchovy filet, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
• 1 egg yolk
• 1/4 teaspoon red chili flakes
• 2 ounces Parmigiano Reggiano, grated on a microplane grater (about 2 cups)
• 3/4 cup neutral oil (such as safflower or canola)
• 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 2 cups finely cubed sourdough bread
• 12 ounces kale leaves, large stems removed, sliced into thin ribbons
• 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves, sliced into thin ribbons
• 1 serrano chili, thinly sliced

1. Combine lemon juice and zest, vinegar, garlic, anchovy, mustard, egg yolk, chili flakes, and cheese in the bowl of a food processor. Process until homogenous, about 10 seconds. With processor running, slowly drizzle neutral oil through feed tube, stopping the processor to scrape down sides as necessary until a smooth emulsion is formed, about 20 seconds.
2. Transfer to a medium bowl. Whisking constantly, slowly drizzle in 1/2 cup olive oil. Season dressing to taste with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to use.
3. Heat remaining two tablespoons olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add bread cubes and cook, tossing and stirring constantly until golden brown and crisp, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and season with salt and pepper.
4. To serve, combine kale and mint in a large bowl with about 1/2 cup dressing (more or less as desired). Toss to coat well and let sit around 3 minutes. Transfer to a large serving bowl and top with croutons and sliced chilies. Serve immediately.
