Serves: 4 to 6
What You Need
- 1 large clove garlic, coarsely chopped
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons good quality mayonnaise or veganaise
- 1 teaspoon prepared horseradish
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 anchovies, or 1 teaspoon anchovy paste (optional)

- 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 small bunch kale, stemmed and chopped
- 3 cups chopped hearts of romaine
- 1 bunch radishes, sliced (optional)

What To Do
- For the dressing, in a food processor or blender, add the garlic, olive oil, mayonnaise, horseradish, Worcestershire, anchovies, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Give it a whirl until smooth. Keep in the refrigerator until ready to use.
- Preheat the oven to 375F. Spread the cornbread pieces on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and toss gently with your hands to coat. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes until dry and crispy. Set aside to cool.
- In a large salad bowl, combine the kale, romaine, radishes, and half the Parmesan. Toss with the desired amount of dressing. Sprinkle with cornbread crispies and remaining Parmesan and serve.
