Ingredients
1 large bunch or 2 small bunches
kale, torn into bite size pieces
1/4 cup olive oil
Juice from 2-3 lemons
2 tbs balsamic vinegar
1/3 cup currants or 1/3 cup other
dried fruit
1/3 cup pine nuts, toasted
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
1 teaspoon red chili pepper flakes
salt and pepper
Directions:
Wash the kale well. Those curly leaves can be full of sand. Tear kale pieces off the main
fibrous center stem. Add the kale to a large mixing bowl, season with salt,
pepper and drizzle with olive oil. Massage with your hands making sure to coat
the kale with oil. This will begin to break down the tough kale cell structure.
Grate the zest and squeeze the
juice of the lemons over the massaged kale. Add the balsamic vinegar. Add the
currants, toasted pine nuts, parmesan and toss to combine. Serve with a pinch
of red chili flakes, if desired.
