Massaged Kale and Currant Salad

Makes 6 servings

1 bunch kale
1 tsp sea salt
1/4 c diced red onion
1/3 c currants
3/4 c diced apple
1/3 c sunflower seeds, toasted
1/4 c olive oil
2 Tbsp unfiltered apple cider vinegar
1/3 c Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled

De stem kale by pulling leaves away from stems. Wash leaves. Pat dry. Stack leaves, roll up, and cut into thin ribbons. Put kale in a large mixing bowl. Add salt, and massage it into the kale with your hands for 2 minutes.

Stir onions, currants, apple, and sunflower seeds into kale. Dress with oil and vinegar. Taste for salt and vinegar; add more to taste if necessary. Toss in cheese. Keeps for several days!

You can vary the dried fruit, nuts or seeds, and cheese in this recipe.


Enjoy!
