Salad

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Kale

    Wash the kale thoroughly, remove the stems, and chop it into bite-sized pieces. Place in a large bowl.

  2. 2

    Make the Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together the grated ginger, minced garlic, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Pour the dressing over the chopped kale and massage the kale for a couple of minutes to soften it. Add the crushed white beans and toss to combine.

  4. 4

    Add Toppings

    Slice the apple and arrange it on top of the salad. Sprinkle walnuts and pecorino cheese over the top.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve immediately, or let it sit for about 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
