Kale and Frisee Salad with Sherry Vinaigrette image

This kale-and-frisée salad provides a cleansing counterpoint to rich and creamy holiday favorites like mashed potatoes and gravy. Topping it off with celery, hazelnuts, and fried capers for flavor-packed crunch elevates the humble side salad to second-helping status.

Time 1h

Yield Serves 8 to 10

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons capers, drained and patted dry
1/2 cup chopped roasted hazelnuts
1 celery heart (pale center stalks and leaves), chopped (about 1 cup)
1 1/2 teaspoons whole-grain or stone-ground mustard
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 head frisée, coarsely chopped (about 4 cups)
1 small bunch lacinato kale, stems and center ribs removed, shredded (about 4 cups)

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a small skillet over medium-high. When oil shimmers, add capers. Cook, stirring a few times, until they swell and darken slightly, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Add hazelnuts and cook 1 minute more. Transfer mixture (with oil) to a small bowl. Let cool completely, then stir in celery.
  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together mustard and vinegar. Gradually whisk in remaining 2 tablespoons oil to make the dressing; season with salt and pepper. Add frisée and kale, tossing to evenly coat; let stand at least 20 minutes and up to 1 hour. Top with caper mixture before serving.
