Kale Salad Recipe
Kale recipes can vary with all kinds of ingredients. This recipe has delicious currants in it!
Kale Salad with Currants
Currants are much like raisins. They have a sour and sweet berry flavor, but they'll err on the side of deliciously sour! If you can't find currants or want to stick with something more predictable for your palate, then try raisins, goldenn or black, small diced prunes, dice dates or even dried cranberries for a tad bit more tart.
How to Cut Kale for Salad
Now I love to make this salad with both large leafy kale and with baby kale greens. With the large leaves, remove the spine. Then you roll them tightly into a 'cigar' shape and slice them thinly. Or you can chop up the kale into whatever size or shape you prefer. And, remember, you have various types of kale to use. If you haven't tried Tuscan or 'dinosaur' kale, you must!
Kale Salad Dressing
What makes this salad more divine is the dressing! Yes, as you'll see from the recipe, most of the ingredients go into the dressing.
Sweet Kale Salad
And, with this dressing, you have a delicious sweet kale salad with some saltiness of the asiago cheese and crunch from the almonds.
Kale Salad Ideas
There's no shortage of kale salad ideas out there. And, if you make this recipe, I'm thinking it's going to be one of your go to recipes for any occasion.
Kale Salad Mix
Of course, there's no problem using a kale salad mix with this recipe. Simple pull together the dressing and drizzle over the salad mix. Save that dressing and the extra toppings that come with it for something else.
Summer Kale Salad
Now there's nothing better than a summer kale salad, and since I have a small kale garden, planting it in the Spring, I usually have beautiful fresh kale for months. Well, that is if the bugs, squirrels and vermin don't feast on it!
Kale Salad Parmesan
Yes, you can make this kale salad with parmesan. But, I'm using asiago cheese because it's just a tad bit saltier. But, if you don't have that then use parm!
