Salad Ingredients

Method

Salad Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Kale

    Wash the kale thoroughly under cold running water. Remove the tough stems and chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Add Pepperoni

    Slice the pepperoni into thin rounds and add them to the chopped kale.

  3. 3

    Incorporate Pepperoncini

    Slice the pepperoncini peppers into rings or halves, depending on your preference, and mix them into the salad.

  4. 4

    Toast Pine Nuts

    In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the pine nuts until golden brown, about 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. Allow them to cool before adding to the salad.

  5. 5

    Add Ricotta Salata

    Crumble the Ricotta Salata cheese over the top of the salad.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Toss all ingredients together in a large bowl until well combined. Serve with anchovy vinaigrette drizzled on top.
