I like using leftovers with this salad. It's a bit of a spin on a Caesar Salad. I have a confession. When I started to make this, I did not know what pepperoncini was and was forced to turn to Mr. Google for an explanation. You would think that I would have had a guess since the first six letters spell pepper, but no I looked it up. You all probably know already but pepperoncini are peppers.The name pepperoncini is the generic Italian name for "Hot Chili". I found it wasn't that hot, and added just the right zip, but if you wish to reduce the heat, remove the seeds.
I happen to love Kale, but if you are not a fan, simply substitute Romaine Lettuce. The dressing is good for much more than this salad. If you are averse to using a raw egg yolk, simply leave it out. You could also put some leftover chicken, beef or salmon in the mix. The dressing stands up to anything that will combine nicely with lemony/garlicy flavor. That means just about anything but ice cream in my book. Have to draw the line somewhere.
