I find this salad addictive. I’ve always loved kale wilted in soups or sautéed with garlic and tossed into pastas. But I never imagined enjoying it raw until I made this recipe.

To make the croutons, first preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
step 2
In a bowl, toss the Brioche (3 slices) with the Olive Oil (2 Tbsp) and a pinch of Kosher Salt (to taste). Add Herbes de Provence (1/2 tsp), if using.

step 5
Add a pinch of Kosher Salt (to taste) and mince further. Every so often, using the side of your knife, drag the mixture against the cutting board to create a paste. Transfer to a bowl.
step 6
Whisk the yolk of the Farmhouse Eggs® Large Brown Egg (1) and the White Balsamic Vinegar (1/4 cup) into the bowl.
step 7
Slowly drizzle in Olive Oil (1 cup), whisking constantly until a thick dressing forms. Taste the dressing and add more salt or vinegar to taste.
step 8
Add water, a small spoonful at a time, stirring to thin dressing to the consistency of heavy cream.
step 9
In a large bowl, combine the Kale (36 1/4 cups) and the croutons. Pour the dressing to taste (I didn't use all of it) over top and toss to coat.
step 10
Add the Parmigiano-Reggiano (2/3 cup) and toss again, then serve.
