This salad is intensely flavorful, relying on crispy kale, spicy radishes, and a rich, creamy dressing. Kale can be tough and fibrous, so we use the Tuscan variety (also known as lacinato, cavolo nero, or dinosaur) because it’s the most tender. The acid from the lemon juice helps break down the leaves even more, so be sure to fully coat each with the dressing. Let it sit for 10 minutes, then add pecorino Romano and pine nuts for the same robust creaminess you’d find in a Caesar salad.
