4 cups finely chopped kale (if you are buying a bunch of kale, remove stalks and thick stems and finely chop the leaves)
2 Tablespoon dried blueberries
2 Tablespoon dried chopped figs
2 Tablespoon toasted pine nuts
Lemon dressing and freshly shaved parmesan to taste
For the Lemon Dressing
1 teaspoon dijon mustard
1 small lemon, juiced
1 small garlic clove, grated (omit if you do not like taste of raw garlic)
¼ teaspoon sugar
⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil
pinch of salt and pepper
Instructions
Combine kale with a few Tablespoons of lemon dressing (dress to taste). Combine well and if time allows let kale "marinate" in dressing for ~10 minutes to help soften leaves. Stir in dried fruit, pine nuts and top with shaved parmesan before serving.
For the dressing:
To a small bowl or glass jar add dijon mustard, lemon juice, garlic & sugar and whisk together. Slowly add in olive oil and whisk until emulsified. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Notes
You will want a good parmesan cheese for shaving like Parmigiano Reggiano.
