best kale salad
i do love me some tough winter greens. i’ve been working on this kale salad recipe for a few months. i don’t think it’s going past this point, so here’s where i share.
1 head of green kale
1 avocado
juice of 1 lime
6-8 sundried tomatoes (soaked for 30min and then diced)
habanero pepper (diced)
6 olives (i rinse the salt off and then dice them)
de-spine the kale. put it in a salad bowl. pour the lime juice over it and tear the kale into small pieces, this will soften it up and ‘cook it’ (similar to the way ceviche works). dice the avocado and mash it into the kale/lime mixture with your hands. drain the soaked tomatoes, dice them, and dump them in. same with the pepper and the olives. let the whole thing sit for a few minutes so that the kale softens a little more. devour. this salad is so good. i’ve been craving it lately.

this looks darn good! we just got a big ole bunch o’ kale in our local produce box today. i was thinking of making african peanut pineapple stew w/ it. (not raw, but tasty.)
a question: does the lime tame the habanero fire?

This sounds great. I’ll give it a shot this week….

lime doesn’t really tame the habanero fire. i would maybe just use less or none at all? african peanut pineapple stew sounds awesome.
