Tasty Tuesday - Kale with Pine Nuts & Garlic Vinaigrette

I made this salad Sunday night and it was so good! I was really surprised that both Cameron and I enjoyed it because the last time I tried to cook kale, I made kale chips and burnt them. Not so tasty. But THIS was tasty.

Kale with Pine Nuts & Garlic Vinaigrette

Recipe and photo found here.

For the vinaigrette:

4 cloves garlic, finely chopped or minced

3 Tbsp lemon juice

1 Tbsp white wine vinegar

2/3-3/4 cup olive oil

1/3 cup finely shaved parmesan (~1 oz)

Salt

Pepper

For the salad:

1 bunch Kale, rinsed and dried

1/4 cup pine nuts

Parmesan, shaved (for garnish)

 

Add the garlic, lemon juice, white wine vinegar, a pinch of salt, and black pepper to a bowl and whisk together.

Let stand at least 15 minutes if you can (the longer the dressing sits, the more pronounced the garlic flavor is - and it will only get better overnight).

Slowly stream in the olive oil while whisking and then stir in the parmesan.

Heat a dry non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add the pine nuts.

Toast for 4-5 minutes, stirring once or twice until sides are golden brown.

Coarsely chop kale and add to a large bowl.

Lightly toss with a few tablespoons of dressing and garnish with toasted pine nuts and shaved parmesan.
