For the salad

  • ½ bunch kale (approximately 200 grams or 2.3 ounces)
  • 2 bunches asparagus (approximately 400 grams or 31.75 ounces)
  • ½ cup cranberries (dried)
  • ¼ cup hazelnuts (roasted)
  • Optional - Camembert or Brie Wheel or Goats Cheese log.

For the dressing

  • ¼ cup hazelnuts (roasted)
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • ⅓ cup apple cider vinegar

Instructions

  • Place all your dressing ingredients in a small food processor or blender, season then blitz to combine. If you dressing is too thick add some water to loosen it.
  • Wash your kale and rip the leafy parts from the ribs (tips in the post on what to do with them) then shred your kale leaves.
  • Add chopped kale to a large mixing bowl, season, then pour over the dressing.
  • Massage the kale for 3-5 minutes until tender but don’t overdo it.
  • Wash and trim your asparagus and cut into 2.5cm (1 inch batons).
  • Add to a large heated pan and sauté until golden and tender (approximately 5-10 minutes). Do not overcrowd the pan, sauté in batches if you have to.
  • Allow the asparagus to cool slightly.
  • If you are using a Brie or Camembert cheese, cut them into small wedges or rectangles. Or if you are using a Goats Cheese cut into rounds.
  • Add all ingredients (except the cheeses) to the bowl with the massaged kale.
  • Mix well to combine then arrange in a salad platter. Taste and adjust seasonings according to your taste.
  • If you are using the cheese arrange it on the top of the salad. Serve and Enjoy!
