While Caesar dressing is often paired with mild romaine, we love how its bold flavour stands up to kale and garlicky grilled shrimp. If you’re an anchovy rookie, don’t be intimidated—and don’t omit the tiny fish from the dressing. Once incorporated, they lend critical umami depth. Allow the dressed kale to sit for 20 minutes for a mellower texture and taste.
