a few handfuls of crushed nuts, toasted until fragrant with olive oil, cumin and a little cayenne + half a head of raw kale cut into bite sized strands + one granny smith apple chopped + dressing (equal parts olive oil, lemon juice) + salt and pepper + a few minutes spent mixing it and squeezing it with your hands until the kale is starting to get a little wilty = the best salad.

I have yet to master the kale salad. How long do you usually let it sit? This one looks tasty.
ReplyDeleteI think the secret to kale salad is making sure that you remove the whole stem before cutting and more importantly, scrunching the salad around with your hands to work the lemon juice into the leaves. I leave it to sit post-massage for 5 minutes or so, but really getting the dressing in there wilts the kale best.
