0:01
- Can you believe? I can't.
0:04
It's already January 2026.
0:06
Who would've ever thought
0:06
that we would've lived this long, Theresa?
0:10
- [Theresa] Thanks, Bobby.
0:12
- We're going to make a kale Caesar salad
0:14
because I've eaten all of the cakes and cookies and pies
0:17
and casserole and heavy fattening stuff that I can stand.
0:22
So we're going to make a delicious, wonderful,
0:26
easy kale Caesar salad.
0:27
And I'm starting out with some olive oil in the skillet
0:32
not a couple, three anchovy filets.
0:36
We're going to make a wonderful base
0:45
So the olive oil and the filets.
0:51
And we're going to cook this until those filets sort of
0:56
really break up and sort of disintegrate for us.
0:59
And then we will add to it.
1:04
We'll add to it some Panko breadcrumbs,
1:06
a little bit of garlic.
1:10
And this is going to be a wonderful base
1:13
I really like kale. Do you like kale?
1:16
- [Theresa] I do. - Yeah.
1:17
- Eddie, do you like kale?
1:21
You know, I think people kind of frown on it
1:25
because it can be bitter, but-
1:28
- [Theresa] I like it.
1:29
- I do too, I do too. I'm with you on that.
1:31
And I like too to add some citrus to it,
1:36
either some lemon zest or or lemon juice
1:39
and it really makes it a lot easier to enjoy.
1:46
Knocks out a little bit of that bitterness,
1:48
and of course, some nice chunky salt also goes a long way.
1:52
Okay, so there we go.
1:53
Our anchovies are doing exactly
1:56
what I was hoping they would do.
1:58
They've broken up and they're sort of
2:00
just disappearing into our olive oil.
2:06
So we'll add to that our Panko.
2:11
I'll turn this down to very low
2:12
now that I've done what I needed to do with the anchovies.
2:16
Our olive oil and a little bit of cloaved garlic,
2:18
one clove of, excuse me, minced garlic.
2:23
And this is going to be a really, really nice
2:27
base for our kale Caesar salad.
2:34
Hey, Pipo. What's happening, man?
2:36
I'm making you a salad. Happy New Year, by the way.
2:39
Can you believe it's 2026? I can't.
2:44
- [Pipo] Oh, fried salad?
2:45
- Kale. It's not fried.
2:50
- [Pipo] You're welcome.
2:51
- Do you want to help me?
2:52
Get over there and do this dish.
3:00
do you like anchovy filets?
3:03
- Yeah. You're a man of the sea.
3:06
- I know you'll eat anything out of the sea.
3:09
Especially the spicy, Pipo is a spice guy.
3:14
Well, this is anchovy filets
3:16
and a little bit of olive oil,
3:18
some Panko bread crumbs, a little garlic.
3:24
It's going to make for a nice base for our kale Caesar.
3:27
You see that beautiful kale we got over there, Mike?
3:30
Pull you up a chair, man.
3:33
We'll cure what ails you.
3:35
- [Theresa] He's probably headed to work.
3:36
- [Pipo] No, I already went to work this morning.
3:40
- Oh, you already worked today?
3:41
- [Pipo] 3:00 this morning.
3:43
- 3:00 in the morning.
3:46
Little bit of salt and pepper.
3:59
Panko's getting nice and brown and toasty.
4:03
This is giving off a really, really nice aroma too,
4:05
so doing exactly as I had planned.
4:11
The olive oil and anchovy filets and Panko
4:15
just smells wonderful.
4:17
All right, so I've got a beautiful salad dish here.
4:20
And I'm going to take my other clove of garlic
4:22
and I'm just going to rub it
4:23
around the base of the salad bowl
4:26
and sort of just impart that
4:28
flavor of garlic onto the bowl.
4:38
And then to that, we're going to add lemon juice and zest.
5:55
I think we can take a little more kale.
6:02
The thing about kale is it's often, it's really like stemy.
6:06
It almost is like collards or some sort of a green.
6:10
It's real stout and sturdy.
6:13
It's got those big stems and you have to cut the stems out.
6:21
They even sell bags of it precut.
6:23
I don't know, maybe you've seen it,
6:24
but they sell it in my local grocery store precut.
6:27
I'll go in there and just buy a big bag of it
6:28
and make kale salads all the time
6:31
with different types of,
6:32
usually I'll add some type of protein to it,
6:34
but Claudia's got a nice garden in our house,
6:37
so we often have fresh tomatoes and cucumbers back there.
6:44
something about having a big bowl of greens
6:46
every once in a while.
6:47
That's just really, really good for you.
6:51
So we'll add to that some Parmesan.
7:03
Looks good already and smells wonderful.
7:16
Little more Parmesan if we want to come back to that,
7:18
we can add right over the top.
7:42
Really nice, really simple.
7:43
- [Theresa] Smells so good.
7:44
- Doesn't this smell nice?
7:45
Really nice, really simple.
7:49
Just sort of, just an easy way to elevate a salad.
7:53
So if you're having some people come over,
7:54
if you just want to make something nice for your spouse
7:56
or for, you know, whomever,
7:59
that is a really nice looking, simple,
8:05
but elegant kale Caesar salad.
8:13
And I think and hope that you'll enjoy it,
