YOUR HEALTHY PLATE: KALE SALAD WITH ALMONDS AND GOLDEN RAISINS

Kale may be eaten cooked, or raw in a salad — as long as it’s very finely chopped. This recipe is great; don't be surprised if there's none left over!

1 lb. kale

Slice out the central ribs, and then slice cross-wise into very thin ribbons. Place in a large bowl.

2 tbsp. red onion

1 1/2 tbsp. lemon juice (juice of 1 whole lemon)

2 tsp. honey

1/4 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. black pepper

1/4 c. olive oil

In a second bowl, whisk together above ingredients, and then pour over the kale. Mix very well.

1/4 cup golden raisins

1/4 cup slivered almonds (or toasted pecans).

Garnish with the raisins and nuts.

Bon appetit!
