Fresh strawberries are the star of this Strawberry Kale Salad. The sweet strawberries complement the slightly bitter kale. Toasted almonds, sweet dates and mild red onions tie it all together. The kale is massaged with a shallot, honey and lemon dressing that breaks the kale down into a very edible green.

Ingredients

Scale

For the dressing:

  • 1 small shallot, minced (about 2 T)
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1 T honey
  • 1/2 t crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 t kosher salt

For the salad:

  • 1 bunch kale either curly or laciento, stems removed and torn into 2 – 3” pieces
  • 2 T good quality olive oil
  • 1 basket fresh strawberries, cored and quartered
  • 1/2 cup chopped pitted dates
  • 1/2 c toasted sliced almonds
  • 3 T thinly sliced red onions

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk the shallots, lemon juice and honey. Season with red pepper flakes and salt. 
  2. Put the kale into a large bowl and add the dressing. Using your hands massage the kale so every leaf is coated. Continue to massage until the kale begins to change. It will become softer and darker. You can massage just a little or really go for it to break down the kale. It is a personal choice as to how much you massage the kale. Allow the kale to sit for 20 minutes, then add the olive oil and toss with your hands until all the leaves are well-coated in olive oil. This step can be done up to 24 hours in advance.
  3. Add strawberries, dates, almonds and red onions. Toss and serve.
