Mustard Greens Salad with Anchovy Croutons image

Because mustard greens are on the cusp of chewy, it's a good idea to let the salad stand for a few minutes once you've tossed everything together. This will give the leaves a chance to soften.

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 oil-packed anchovies, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
4 slices (1/4-inch-thick) rustic bread, each sliced into 3 or 4 strips
6 cups mustard greens, stems removed, torn into 2-inch pieces
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Heat 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons oil in a small saucepan over low heat. Cook anchovies and garlic until anchovies are broken up and garlic is pale golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Pour mixture into a large bowl.
  • Meanwhile, toast bread on a rimmed baking sheet until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Add to bowl with anchovy oil, and toss to coat.
  • Add mustard greens, lemon juice, and remaining tablespoon oil to bowl, and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
