Kale Salad
Provided by Doreen Blumenfeld, CH
1 large bunch of kale, washed, dried and shredded
¼ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
1/3 cup dried cranberries or currents
¼ cup sliced almonds
Dressing
5 Tablespoons olive oil
2 Tablespoons of fresh lemon juice
Salt and pepper to taste
Mix all salad ingredients in large bowl. Mix dressing ingredients and shake to blend, then add to salad. If the salad is too dry add a bit more dressing. Holds well in refrigerator, covered, for 2-3 days. I usually double the recipe so I have plenty to serve for breakfast with a poached egg on top.
