Dressing
3 Tablespoons Freshly Squeezed Lime Juice (See Note)
2 Tablespoons Maple Syrup
1 To 2 Tablespoons Extra-Virgin Olive Oil, To Taste (Optional)
1/8 Teaspoon Sea Salt, Plus More As Needed
Several Grinds Of Fresh Black Pepper
Salad
5 Cups Packed, Thinly Sliced Curly Kale, Thick Stems Removed
1/3 Cup Roasted Or Raw Almonds
¼ Cup Raisins
Directions
- Put the lime juice, maple syrup, optional olive oil, salt, and pepper in a small bowl and whisk briskly to combine.
- Put the kale, almonds, and raisins in a large bowl. Pour the dressing over the kale and mix together using tongs or a large fork, until well coated.
- If desired, to soften the kale leaves, use clean hands to “massage” the dressing into the kale for about 30 seconds. Taste and add more salt if desired. Let stand 5 minutes and serve (see note).
- *Chef’s note: If preferred, you may use freshly squeezed lemon juice in place of the lime juice.
- *Chef’s note: This salad can be made ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 4 hours before serving.
