This is one of my favorite salads. I originally got the recipe from my friend Orit but I have change it up with different ingredients depending on my mood.
This is a healthy, easy and bright salad. This salad does not wilt easy, you can make this at least an hour before serving.
Kale Salad
1-2 bunches of Kale
Clean thoroughly and remove the middle stem (its too hard to eat)
Chop up in bite size pieces and place in bowl
Other ingrediants (optional)
Roasted Beets
Red Onion (sliced thinly)
Toasted Pine Nuts
Goat Cheese
Arugula
Dressing:
1/4 cup minced shallots
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon of champagne vinegar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 TSP ground pepper
Combine shallots, lemon juice vinegar and salt in bowl. (this is important…let this marinate for 15 min)
Add olive oil slowly whisking to combine then add pepper and add more salt and pepper if desired and pour over kale.
Massage dressing with your hands to break down the roughness of the kale. Massage it hard!This is key!
Other toppings are red onion, goat cheese and beets.
