Salad Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Kale

    Wash and dry the kale leaves thoroughly. Remove the stems and tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Toast the Hazelnuts

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the hazelnuts on a baking sheet and toast for about 10-12 minutes until fragrant and golden. Let them cool, then chop coarsely.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Breadcrumbs

    In a skillet over medium heat, toast the breadcrumbs until golden brown, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Remove from heat and let cool.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Salad

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the kale, ricotta salata (crumbled), toasted hazelnuts, and toasted breadcrumbs. Drizzle with sour cherry vinaigrette and toss gently to combine.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Transfer the salad to a serving platter or individual plates. Enjoy immediately!
