Yes, we too have jumped on the kale bandwagon and have been eating kale more than ever without any real explanation as to why. I just have to say that my son, inexplicably really likes kale salad and this dressing makes kale edible for my husband and daughter who really don’t like kale. I’ve agreed to replace spinach in this recipe for the family members who are opposed to kale.
Ingredients
1 lb kale, washed and trimmed
6 slices bacon
1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted
Shaved parmesan (optional)
Dressing:
1 minced shallot
1 minced garlic clove
Juice of one orange
2 tablespoons champagne vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
1/3 cup olive oil
pinch sea salt
Preparation
Cut kale into 1 inch pieces. Cook bacon until crispy, drain on paper towel and chop, set aside. Whisk all dressing ingredients together. Toss kale in dressing and let sit in dressing for 1 hour. When ready to serve, toss bacon, pine nuts and cheese into salad.
