Choose a bunch of fresh young kale. Walnuts could be substituted for the pine nuts in the recipe. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil |
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice |
2 teaspoons maple syrup |
1 teaspoon dijon mustard |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes |
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper |
8 ounces kale |
1/4 cup golden raisin |
1/4 cup toasted pine nuts |
Directions:
1. Dressing: Whisk together the oil, lemon juice, syrup, mustard, red pepper, salt and black pepper (this can be done in the bowl the salad will be served in).
2. Salad: Rinse and dry kale in a salad spinner or kitchen towel. Remove and discard the tough stems from the kale. I fold the leaves in half and slice along the stem to seperate them from the leaf. Cut the leaves crosswise into 1/2 inch wide strips.
3. Assembly: Pour the dressing into a serving bowl and whisk well. Add the kale and toss to coat the leaves thouroughly with dressing. Garnish with rasins and nuts.
