Kale Salad With Root Vegetables And Apple Recipe 45

Steps:

• Whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Add the kale, toss to coat and let stand 10 minutes.
• While the kale stands, cut the dates into thin slivers and the apple into thin matchsticks. Add the dates, apples, almonds and cheese to the kale. Season with salt and pepper and toss well.

Steps:

• For the red wine vinaigrette: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the red wine vinegar, shallots, garlic, salt and pepper and whisk together well. Slowly whisk the extra-virgin olive oil into the middle of the vinegar mixture to create an emulsion, incorporating all the oil. Stir in the chives. Cover and refrigerate.
• For the salad: In a medium saucepan, toast the quinoa in the olive oil over medium-high heat about 1 minute to evaporate the water. Add the vegetable stock and salt and bring to a boil. Immediately reduce to a simmer and cook, covered, until the water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Remove from the burner and allow to sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff the quinoa and let cool uncovered; reserve to the side.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the kale, carrots, radishes, red onion and cooked red quinoa. Add the red wine vinaigrette and toss well to thoroughly combine. Place the salad on a large serving platter and serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, massage the kale with the vinegar, 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and 1 teaspoon of salt. Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk the lemon zest and juice, soy sauce, syrup and remaining 1/4 cup of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Toss the carrot, apple, rutabaga and scallions with the kale. Add the dressing and toss again. Season with salt and pepper and serve.

Steps:

• Massage kale with your hands until leaves have softened, about 2 minutes. Place in a large bowl. Add apples, pomegranate seeds, and cinnamon.
• Stir together olive oil, lemon juice, shallot, thyme, pepper, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl. Pour dressing over kale salad and toss to combine.
