Raw Kale Salad

  • Minutes to Prepare:
  • Number of Servings: 7
Ingredients
1/4 cup dried sweetened cranberries, chopped (or whole golden raisins or currants) 1/3 cup slivered almonds 1 pound fresh Kale 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar 3 Tbsp olive oil 1 Tbsp seasoned rice vinegar 1 Tbsp honey 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon pepper 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
Directions
Use a sharp knife to cut out the tough midrib of each kale leaf, and discard or compost. Slice the leaves crosswise into thin, 1/4 inch wide, slices. The easiest way to do this is to work with a small bunch of leaves at a time, stack the leaves and roll them into a loose cigar shape. Then using a sharp knife, work from one end of the "cigar" to the other, slicing a 1/4 inch off from the end. Place the kale slices into a large bowl.

3 In a smaller bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, rice vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper. A half hour to an hour before serving, toss the kale together with the toasted pine nuts, the dried cranberries, and the dressing, allowing the kale to marinate a bit. Right before serving, stir in the feta cheese.
