kale salad with shaved parmesan

makes 12 servings

juice of 1 lemon

1/2 shallot, chopped

1 tsp honey

1/2 tsp salt

2 small bunches kale, stems removed and shredded or finely chopped

2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

1/3 cup sliced almonds or pine nuts

1/2 cup pomegranate seeds or dried cranberries (original recipe uses dates)

2 1/2 oz parmesan, shaved with a peeler

In a bowl, whisk juice, shallot, honey, and salt. Add kale; toss well. Let sit 20 minutes. Mix in oil. Refrigerate for up to 1 day, or serve immediately. In a dry pan, toast almonds over medium heat, tossing constantly, until color deepens, 1 to 2 minutes (sometimes I skip this part). Add almonds, berries and Parmesan to kale; serve.
