Grilled salad. It’s a thing. This one gets a double dose of smokiness, both from the charred greens and the smoked paprika.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    4 Servings

Ingredients

½

day-old baguette, cut into 1-inch pieces (about 6 cups)

8

tablespoons olive oil, divided

½

teaspoon hot smoked Spanish paprika

½

cup plain whole-milk Greek yogurt

¼

cup crème fraîche or sour cream

2

garlic cloves, finely grated

2

tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1

tablespoon honey

½

teaspoon kosher salt, plus more

Freshly ground black pepper

3

large bunches Tuscan kale, ribs and stems removed

½

apple, cored, very thinly sliced lengthwise

3

radishes, trimmed, very thinly sliced

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 350°. Toss bread with 4 Tbsp. oil on a rimmed baking sheet and toast until crisp and golden brown, 15–20 minutes. Let cool. Pulse in a food processor to coarse crumbs with some larger pea-size pieces remaining. Transfer to a small bowl and stir in paprika; set aside.

    Step 2

    Meanwhile, mix yogurt, crème fraîche, garlic, lemon juice, and honey in a medium bowl. Gradually add 2 Tbsp. oil, whisking until combined. Season dressing with salt and pepper.

    Step 3

    Prepare a grill for medium-high heat. Toss kale with remaining ½ tsp. kosher salt and remaining 2 Tbsp. oil in a large bowl to coat; massage leaves to soften. Working in batches, grill kale, turning often, until nicely charred and slightly wilted, about 2 minutes per batch. Transfer back to bowl as done and let cool slightly. Add apple and radish and toss to combine. Drizzle with dressing; toss again.

    Step 4

    Serve salad topped with reserved paprika breadcrumbs.

    Step 5

    Do Ahead: Breadcrumbs can be made 1 month ahead. Freeze airtight.
