Author Notes: This wintry kale salad straddles the line between salad and slaw, and does so with finesse. It's hearty, bright, and can even hold its own in the fridge overnight. If I'm in the mood for heat (which is pretty much always) I like to serve with big pinches of red pepper flakes.

Serves 4

1 bunch lacinto kale, tough stems removed sliced into thin strips
1 medium fennel bulb, shaved on mandolin (1/16th inch setting)
2 celery stalks, shaved on mandolin (1/16th inch setting)
2/3 cup toasted hazelnuts, roughly chopped
1 cup Pecorino Romano cheese, finely grated
2 tablespoons lemon juice (about 1/2 a lemon)

De-stem and shop the kale.
Shave the fennel and celery.
Toast the nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat until lightly browned and aromatic, about 3-4 minutes. Roughly chop the nuts.
Grate the cheese.
Toss all ingredients together until well coated.
Finish with salt and pepper
