Active Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

• 1 large egg yolk
• 1 garlic clove, smashed, peeled, and trimmed
• 3 anchovy fillets, packed in oil, drained
• 1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon colatura (Italian fish sauce; optional)
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
• 1/2 cup canola oil
• 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
• 1/2 cup freshly grated grana padano cheese
• Kosher salt
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 4 ounces country bread, crusts removed, bread torn into small pieces
• Two (5-ounce) containers baby kale

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 400°F. Pulse egg yolk, garlic, anchovies, lemon juice, vinegar, mustard, oregano, colatura (if using), and cayenne in a food processor or blender until smooth. Combine canola oil and 1/2 cup olive oil in a measuring cup with spout. With the motor running, add blended oil in a very thin stream; purée until a creamy emulsion forms. Add cheese and pulse to combine. Season dressing with salt and pepper.

Toss bread with remaining 2 Tbsp. olive oil and spread on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake, tossing once or twice, until crisp and lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Let cool completely.

Combine kale and croutons in a large bowl. Add 1/2 cup dressing and toss to combine.
