1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
1 bunch kale, ribs removed and leaves torn into pieces

1 Place mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic, anchovies, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper in the bowl of a food processor. Process until smooth. Transfer to a small bowl and stir in grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. Set aside.
