LEMON GARLIC KALE SALAD

Lemon Garlic Kale Salad image

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups Sliced Almonds
1/3 cup lemon juice
1 1/2 cups olive oil
4 cloves garlic - smashed by the side of a knife
12 ounce kale
1 cup Parmesan cheese - optional

Steps:

Toast almonds and set aside.
In a bowl, combine lemon juice and 1 heaping teaspoon salt. Slowly whisk in olive oil. Add garlic cloves and set aside to steep.
Working in batches, cut the kale into thin ribbons: gather a large handful of leaves, bunch together tightly, and use the other hand to slice into 1/4-inch-thick pieces. This need not be done very precisely or neatly; the idea is to end up with a kind of slaw. (Recipe can be made up to this point 1 day ahead. Keep kale and dressing refrigerated separately.) I just ran the kale through my KitchenAid attachment!
