Slice the cherry tomatoes in half.

In a bowl, add minced garlic and 1/4 teaspoon of salt, then pound it down until it becomes a paste.

Add the juice of two small lemons to the garlic paste.

Pour in 1/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil and 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese into the bowl.

Add crushed red pepper, black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon of anchovy paste to the mixture.

Whisk all the ingredients together to create the Parmesan dressing.

Combine the kale, cherry tomatoes, cantalini beans, and homemade croutons in a large bowl.

Drizzle the Parmesan dressing over the salad and toss to combine all ingredients.
