Fresh Kale Salad

I have been trying to come up with a kale salad recipe that I absolutely loved. So far, I had come close, but not succeeded, until this recipe. It was beyond delicious. Seriously one of the favorite things that I have ever made. Just to give you an idea of just how good it was . . . even my salad phobic kids ate it AND asked for more. Mmmmm . . . writing this post is actually making me crave this salad. At least it is a super healthy craving!! So, next time that you are at the store, buy some kale and try it out. You know you want to! (-:  The picture might look plain with only greens, cheese, bread and dressing, but it is full of flavor. Seriously, I am going to have to go make some more after I finish this post!

Kale grows in cold weather, and I love it! I also love salad, but kale can be tough when you try to eat it raw. I love lemon juice and olive oil dressing, and I thought that the lemon juice might work on the kale and make it a little more tender. I have been playing around with a recipe, until I came up with an incredibly delicious salad! Even my kids loved it. It is seriously yummy. So, if you like to eat fresh, raw greens in the cooler weather, give this a try. It is really easy too.
Ingredients
  • 5 cups of kale with the stem portion of the leaf removed
  • 1 cup asiago cheese
  • 1 slice of my whole wheat bread toasted with butter and garlic salt, then crumbled
  • Dressing:
  • 3 T extra virgin olive oil
  • freshly squeezed juice form one lemon
  • 3 cloves of garlic, minced
  • salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
  1. Tear kale leaves.
  2. Add the dressing.
  3. Allow the salad to sit for a few minutes. I allowed it to sit for a couple of hours before dinner.
  4. Add the cheese and breadcrumbs and mix.

  1. I love kale, but I’ve never eaten it raw. I usually make kale chips with it. It’s not too tough to eat this way? It sounds really good, I just wonder about the consistency.

      It is way too tough to eat unless you allow the lemon juice to soak for a few minutes, but the citrus tenderizes it so that it is no tougher than fresh spinach. I love the consistency when it is prepared like this. It took me quite a few tries to perfect this recipe, but if you fix it like this, it is SO good!
