KALE SALAD WITH APPLES, CHEDDAR AND TOASTED ALMONDS OR PINE NUTS image

Yield 4-6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 cups very finely chopped or slivered curly kale or Russian kale (about 6 ounces on the stem, or half of a 3/4-pound bunch, stemmed and washed in two rinses of water)
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped toasted almonds
1 apple, sweet, like a fuji, or a sweet-tart, like a gala, braeburn or pink lady, cored and cut in 1/4-inch dice
1 ounce sharp cheddar cheese, cut in 1/4-inch dice
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Salt to taste
1 very small garlic clove, pureed
5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • 1. Combine the kale, almonds, apple and cheddar in a large bowl. 2. Whisk together the lemon juice, salt, garlic and olive oil. Add to the salad, and toss well. Sprinkle the Parmesan over the top, and serve. Advance preparation: This salad benefits from tossing with the dressing about 15 minutes before you serve it. The kale will soften in the dressing.
