Citrus Kale Salad

Fresh kale combined with zesty citrus make for a refreshing salad on a hot, summer night. This is also a great make ahead recipe as the kale keeps its texture without wilting. I enjoyed this salad for lunch the next day.

Ingredients

  • 1 bunch of kale, with ribs removed, sliced into ribbons

  • 2 carrots, julienned

  • 1/2 purple onion, minced

  • 1 tsp coriander

  • 1 lime, zested and juiced

  • 1 orange, zested and juiced

  • 1 TBS olive oil

  • 1 tsp honey

  • Dash of crushed red pepper

  • Salt and pepper

Directions

  • Wash the kale, and dry well. Cut out the ribs of the kale. Then cut the leaves into small ribbons. I like to make sure the leaves are dry by placing the cut ribbons in a colander with a paper towel.
  • Finely dice the purple onion, and place it in your serving bowl.
  • Julienne the 2 carrots, and add to the bowl with the onion.
  • In a measuring cup, add the zest of the orange and lime.
  • Juice your lime and orange. Add juice to the measuring cup.
  • To the measuring cup, add the coriander, crushed red pepper, olive oil. honey, and salt and pepper. Whisk the dressing together.
  • Toss the kale, carrots, and onions with the dressing. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • The honey is an emulsifier so that the olive oil and citrus juices blend together.
