Dead Simple Raw Kale Salad
As we were planning our holiday menu, I decided I wanted to round out our heavily roasted menu of beef, root vegetables, and potatoes with something fresh. A few weeks back I had a really wonderful raw kale salad while visiting a friend in New York City.
We had a bunch of kale to harvest, so I put a call out on our Facebook page requesting favorite kale salad recipes. Three lovely recipes were recommended to us: Raw Tuscan Kale Salad; Collard Green Coleslaw (swapping kale for collard greens); and Lemony Kale Salad.
But ultimately, when the day arrived, I decided to go with something super simple. Dead simple. And ya know what? It was delicious and super yummy.

1/4 C of olive oil
1/4 C of lemon juice (1-2 lemons)
Zest of 1 lemon
Red pepper flakes (optional)
Salt and Pepper to taste
Strip the kale from the stalk and chop up the leaves. Chop until they are pretty small. Whisk the olive oil, lemon juice, and zest together. Stir in salt, pepper and red pepper flakes (if using). Toss the dressing in the kale. A nice feature of this salad is that you can make it ahead of time and the leaves won't get wilty like other salads. It also holds up well for leftovers.
