Ingredients
Scale
- 1/4 cup Lemon juice
- dash salt
- 1/4 cups extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic (peeled and crushed )
- 1 bunch kale (destemmed and cut or torn into small pieces. Red Kale works too!)
- 1/4 cups grated Parmesan
- 2 cups sliced almonds (toasted)
- fresh cracked pepper
Instructions
- In a small canning jar or bowl, whisk lemon juice, a dash of salt, olive oil, and garlic. Set aside.
- Then wash, dry, and destem your kale. Tear or cut the leaves into small pieces, roughly 1 inch big.
- Put kale in a very large bowl and add almonds, cheese, and cracked pepper. Add half the dressing and massage the dressing into the leaves for about 1-2 minutes using two serving utensils. (Most of the leaves should appear glossy by the time you are done, if not add a bit more dressing).
- Have a taste and determine if it needs more dressing. Once you approve, serve and enjoy !
