My first experience with kale was one I’d rather forget. I attempted to make baked kale chips and it all went downhill from there. That was my last time trying to make anything with kale until this week. Whole Foods and Eataly both make amazing kale salads that changed my mind about the vegetable so I decided to give it another try. F I N A L L Y, success! This easy peasy salad is now one of my favorites and takes no time at all to throw together. Of course anything with cheese involved is bound to taste good, right? Don’t leave out the champagne vinegar, it makes the dish so flavorful!
Kale Salad w. Lemon, Almond and Pecorino
via heather christo
ingredients:
1 bunch of kale
1/2 c. slivered almonds
1 c. finely shredded pecorino cheese (I used the 3 cheese blend from Trader Joes)
lemon vinaigrette:
1 shallot, minced
4 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp champagne vinegar
4 tbsp olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
directions:
Finely shave the kale, avoiding the stems and add to a large bowl with the almonds. In a small bowl, combine all of the lemon vinaigrette ingredients and stir. Pour the dressing over the kale, add the cheese and toss to combine.

Thanks for sharing this! I’m always looking for new kale recipes. I can only eat it with cheese on it too. It’s just so bland without it in my opinion! I tried kale chips from Trader Joe’s awhile back and they were nasty! I tried to like them but the nacho flavor that they were made me sick!
I’ve made this before! It’s so good!
you’ve managed to make kale look pretty. that is impressive. love the stuff!
The same thing happened to me! I ruined Kale chips and assumed it was them, not me – haha. This recipe looks good though!
Yummy yummy! Kale pairs so well with pecorino. This looks delish!
I love kale salad. I have so many different versions I make, I’ll be trying this one!
yumm! so many of my favorite ingredients in one salad!
I’ve never had kale before, but I’m really intrigued and am dying to try some! Anything that Eataly serves, I will take! 🙂
Yum! This looks delicious! So easy to make too.

I’ve had bad kale experiences too. But I’d love to eat it because it’s so healthy. I’ll have to give this salad a try and kale another go. And you’re right: cheese fixes anything 🙂
I should try that salad, I have been trying to eat healthier!

I have used that Kiel’s serum before it is great. And this reminds me I need to get some serum.
