Made without egg for binding, this perfectly balanced dressing, generous with anchovies, goes together in a hurry and has a rustic look. Try it on kale and radicchio, as we've done here, or with more bitter chicories the way Ethan Stowell serves it at Staple & Fancy Mercantile in Seattle.
How to Make It
Step 1
1
Whisk anchovies, garlic, lemon juice, oil, 2 tbsp. water, the salt, and pepper in a very large bowl. Don't worry that the dressing doesn't emulsify; it will come together more when you add the cheese.
Step 2
2
Add 3/4 cup parmesan and the greens and mix with your hands. Set salad on plates. Add more parmesan if you like.
