Kale Salad

(adapted from Cynthia Lair’s cookbook “Feeding the Whole Family,” Sasquatch Books)

Ingredients

1 bunch of Lacinato kale

1/2 teaspoon salt

Apple

Golden raisins or frozen blueberries

Sunflower seeds, or hazelnuts, or pecans

Apple cider/olive oil vinaigrette

Preparation

Wash and dry kale. Cut out center ribs and slice leaves as fine as possible.

Add salt and massage into kale for a few minutes. Kale will get limp and your hands might turn green.

Cut up apple finely and add with a small handful of raisins.

Toast sunflower seeds or nuts and add to the salad.

Toss with vinaigrette.

Kid-friendly version: Serve kale chopped up in a small bowl with a few raisins, apple slices, and a small pile of toasted seeds.
