Time 25m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest (from about 1/2 lemon)
1 small shallot, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon everything rub or barbecue seasoning
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
1/4 cup avocado oil
1 cup plus 1 tablespoon sunflower or vegetable oil
6 square wonton skins, sliced into thin strips
Kosher salt
Kernels from 1 large ear sweet corn (about 1 cup)
2 bunches Tuscan (dinosaur) kale, rinsed and chopped (about 7 ounces or 9 cups)
10 ounces chopped barbecued chicken
3 1/2 ounces (about 3/4 cup) cherry or grape tomatoes, quartered

Steps:

  • For the vinaigrette: Whisk the vinegar, mustard, maple syrup, lemon zest, shallot, garlic, everything rub, salt and pepper together in a medium bowl. Slowly drizzle in the avocado oil while whisking. Set aside.
  • For the salad: Place 1 cup of the oil in a medium saucepan. Place over medium-high heat until it reaches 375 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer. Line a medium bowl with paper towels.
  • Make the wonton chips by placing half the wonton strips in the hot oil and stir immediately. Let cook for about 30 second, stir again and cook until golden brown, 15 to 30 more seconds. Remove the strips and place in the paper-lined bowl to drain. Season with a pinch of salt. Repeat with the remaining wonton strips.
  • Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Add the corn kernels and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Cook until the corn starts to brown, about 2 minutes. Stir and cook for another minute. Set aside.
