tasty tuesday: knock off CFA kale salad

Ingredients:

• a bunch of Lacinato Kale, washed, taken off the spine, chopped
• a bunch of Broccolini, washed and trimmed
• Craisins
• Glazed Pecans
• I cheated and used a package of salad add-on’s (in photo)
• Feta Cheese (I added because everything is betta with Feta!)

Dressing:

• 2 T extra virgin olive oil
• 1 T Apple Cider Vinegar or good Balsamic
• 1 1/2 T Dijon Mustard
• 2 tsp pure Maple Syrup (not pancake syrup – good grade B maple syrup) (you might want it sweeter)
• S & P coarse ground
• 1 clove garlic, minced OPTIONAL
• Whisk all of this – easily doubled for a bigger salad

Directions:

1. In a big bowl place all the chopped kale.
2. Drizzle olive oil over the kale.
3. Masticate (fancy word for massage with force with your hands) the kale for one minute.
4. Add the chopped broccolini, craisins, glazed pecans, Feta (amounts are up to you!)
5. In a small bowl, whisk the dressing
6. Pour the dressing over the salad
7. Toss well – let it sit for a little bit (or not, but I found it even better the next day)
