Salad Preparation

    Prepare the Kale

    Rinse the kale thoroughly under cold water. Remove the tough stems and tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces. Pat dry with a clean kitchen towel or use a salad spinner to remove excess water.

Dressing Preparation

    Make the Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, minced garlic, and lemon juice until well combined. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

Assembly

  1. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large salad bowl, add the prepared kale. Drizzle the dressing over the kale and toss to coat the leaves evenly.

  2. 4

    Add Toppings

    Sprinkle the grated Pecorino Rana cheese and sunflower seeds over the top of the salad. Toss gently to combine before serving.
