For the salad
- 6 cups shredded kale (1 bunch approx. 6 stems, 170 grams, 6 ounces)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons lemon zest
- ⅓ cup almonds roasted
- ⅓ cup semi dried tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan flakes to garnish
- Sea salt and cracked black pepper
For the dressing
- ⅓ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese (Parmigiana Reggiano)
- ⅓ cup olive oil
- ¼ cup white wine vinegar
- 1 small garlic clove minced
- 1 teaspoon Dijon Mustard
1 - Prepare the Kale
Wash your kale leaves under cold running water to remove any dirt then either rip the leafy parts of the kale from the ribs or cut them off with a sharp knife and discard them.
Shred them and place them in a large bowl with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice and a teaspoon of sea salt then gently rub the leaves together for approximately 3 minutes. Don’t overdo it as you don’t want your kale to turn to mush.
2 - Blitz the Dressing
Add all the dressing ingredients into a high-speed blender or small food processor, season then blitz until combined.
Taste and adjust seasonings according to your taste.
3 - Assemble Your Lemon Kale Salad
Put all your ingredients in a large mixing bowl, season with sea salt and cracked black pepper, pour over the Parmesan dressing and mix well until the kale is well coated with the dressing.
Arrange the salad in a large salad bowl, garnish with some Parmesan flakes and serve.
