Author Notes
This is the best kale salad I have ever tasted: savory, sweet, garlicky and crunchy, I can't think of a better way to end the work day, or perhaps start the weekend. —tingroo
Ingredients
-
2
cloves garlic, minced
-
2 tablespoons
good quality olive oil
-
1 pinch
sea salt
-
1 tablespoon
lemon juice (about 1/2 a lemon)
-
1
bundle of curly kale
-
1/2 cup
chopped walnuts
-
1/4 cup
plump, dried cranberries
Directions
-
To make the dressing, whisk together garlic, olive oil, sea salt and lemon juice till emulsified. Alternatively you could use a food processor, but I found whisking worked out just fine.
-
Combine the remaining ingredients in a large bowl, pour over dressing, and toss well to combine. Allow salad to rest in the fridge for about 10-15 minutes before digging in – this allows the kale to “relax” and take in the flavors.
