Obviously I am not the
HEALTHIEST blogger, or eater for that matter. I like to think that while I do
not necessarily eat healthy all the time, there is no doubt that I eat well.
Even though flavor is
way more important to me than being as healthy as can be, I do try to add nutritious
ingredients to my food whenever I can.
But for some reason, certain
members of my family meet me with great resistance. Cough, the only other
female in my house, cough. I’ve been trying to sneak kale into things for
months now and every time I do I wish you could see the face that is made at me.
It’s very twisty and dreary and usually followed by some dismissive sound.
So I just decided to
stop tying to hide it and give it to the people in a simple and honest form.
Pretty sure I didn’t change the heart and mind of my mother, but I thought this
was down right scrumptious.
You will need…
2 small bunches of
kale, cleaned and roughly chopped into bite-sized pieces
3 tablespoons lemon
juice
¼ cup olive oil
3 tablespoons apple
cider vinegar
2 shallots, thinly
sliced
2 tablespoons honey
1/3 cup salted
macadamia nuts, roughly chopped
¼ finely grated parmesan
cheese
Salt and pepper to
taste
Start by tossing the
kale together with the lemon juice and set it aside to soak, tossing ever so
often for about 1 hour.
While the kale is
soaking up the lemon juice, whisk together the vinegar and honey in a bowl. Add
in the shallots and season well with salt and pepper. Set aside until the kale
has soaked for an hour.
When the kale is
ready, whisk the olive oil in with the shallots and vinegar.
Pour the shallots and
oil and vinegar over the kale and toss well.
Toss in the parmesan
and nuts and serve.
