Raw Kale Salad with Pinenuts, Currants, and Ricotta Salata
Author Notes

This was inspired by a salad I had at Aurelia in Millbrook, NY. I loved everything about it, but thought the dressing was a tad heavy. Just a drizzle of good balsamic and olive oil allowed the other ingredients to shine. —Erin Jeanne McDowell

Ingredients
  • 1 bunch kale, chiffonade or finely shaved
  • 1/2 cup toasted pinenuts
  • 1/2 cup dried currants
  • 1/4 cup grated ricotta salata

  • 2-3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
In This Recipe

  1. In a large bowl, toss the kale, pinenuts, currants, and cheese together until well combined.

I always have three kinds of hot sauce in my purse. I have a soft spot for making people their favorite dessert, especially if it's wrapped in a pastry crust. My newest cookbook, The Book on Pie, is out on November 10th, 2020.

I changed up a bit with Swiss Chard with a flavored vinegar from my local artiAan shop, Mission Fig infused balsamic vinegar. I had been looking for something to use it on, and this fit. This was a wonderful dinner salad.
