Ingredients

    1 bunch Tuscan kale, ribs removed and roughly chopped into ribbons or shreds(about 8 cups)
    1 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
    Sea salt to taste
    Juice of half a lemon
    1/8 to 1/4 tsp. ground cumin
    1/8 to 1/4 tsp. ground turmeric
    1 medium carrot, peeled and finely grated (about ½ cup)
    1 crisp apple--peeled, cored and finely chopped
    ¼ cup golden raisins
    ¼ cup sliced raw almonds
    3 tablespoons pitted oil-cured olives (about 9 olives), halved
    Black pepper to taste

Tips

* like spices then increase your cumin and turmeric to taste -but start out with 1/8 to 1/4 tsp. or you may be over powered.


Directions

1. In a medium bowl, combine the kale with the olive oil. Sprinkle with salt. Using your hands, massage the kale until the olive oil is coating the leaves and they begin to wilt, about 1 minute.

2. In a small bowl, whisk the lemon juice with the cumin and turmeric. Add the mixture to the kale and continue to massage the leaves until well combined.

3. Add the carrot, apple, raisins, almonds, olives, and toss until just combined. Season with salt and pepper. Let the salad rest for 10 minutes, then serve.
