SWEET KALE SALAD
·
1 teaspoon lemon juice
·
1
bunch -4 to 6 cups of Kale (baby kale is more tender but regular kale works
really well if properly prepared)
·
3
tablespoons Balsamic Vinegar
·
1
teaspoon lemon juice
·
¼
cup organic pure honey
·
¼
cup Extra Virgin Olive oil
·
¼
cup sunflower oil
·
¼
cup organic orange juice
·
¼
cup sliced almonds (roasted in oven for about 10 minutes at 400⁰
·
¼
cup dried cranberries
·
1
small shallot sliced
·
1/8
tsp crushed red chili flakes
·
1/8
tsp oregano
·
1
medium apple (I like Fuji for this) dice very small
Directions:
·
Whisk
together Balsamic vinegar, olive oil, honey, sunflower oil, and orange juice in
small bowl…set aside
·
Prepare
the kale by removing from stems, sprinkle kosher salt over the kale and and
with bare hands keep mixing the salt by gently squeezing the kale for a few
minutes... the kale will start to soften and turn a brighter green. Then rinse
the salt off the kale with very cold water, strain and dry the kale (using a
towel, paper towels or salad spinner)
·
Toss
everything together in a large bowl (use a very large stainless steel bowl)
first add the oils, oj & honey mixture…mix well Then add the almonds, dried cranberries,
shallot, chili flakes, oregano and diced apple.
This is as close as I could
come to the Whole Foods version…and I love it.
