Provided by Jeff Mauro, host of Sandwich King

Categories     side-dish

Time 20m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 bunches curly kale, stemmed and cut into small pieces
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 cup dried cranberries
1 cup pine nuts, toasted
One 24-ounce jar pickled red peppers, 1 pepper piece reserved for the bow, the remaining peppers sliced 1/4 inch thick
1 fennel bulb, sliced 1/8 inch thick
1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 clove garlic, minced

Steps:

  • For the salad: In a large bowl, massage the kale with the lemon juice for about 2 minutes until the color has darkened and the leaves feel soft. Add the cranberries, pine nuts, sliced red pepper and fennel and toss to combine.
  • For the dressing: In a small bowl, add the oil, Parmesan, lemon juice, salt, pepper and garlic and whisk for 1 minute. Dress the salad with about a quarter of the dressing and toss to coat. Pour the remaining dressing into a small round jar or cup.
  • Place the jar of dressing in the center of a large round platter. Arrange the salad mixture around the jar to form a wreath shape. To create a bow for the wreath, cut two 1/4-inch strips from the reserved red pepper for the ribbons and set aside. Lay the remaining bell pepper piece in front of you horizontally. Cut out 2 rectangles, each with a curved piece of pepper on one side, and a square from the middle. Arrange the rectangles with the curved parts on the outside and the square in the middle. Tuck the reserved strips underneath to make ribbons hanging down. Add a small ladle or spoon to serve the dressing.

Quick and easy to make.This make ahead salad graced my grandmas dining table every time we ate at her house. That was about twice a month and holidays.

LIME GELATIN SALAD I



Lime Gelatin Salad I image

This is a great recipe my mom got from my aunt. She has made it every year for Thanksgiving. It is a family tradition for us. It can be made a day or two ahead of time, if you like. It looks just beautiful in a cut crystal bowl. Thanksgiving is not the same without it for us! We just 'gobble' it up! Chopped walnuts can be substituted for chopped pecans.
