INGREDIENTS​

  • 4oz diced pancetta
  • 4oz curly kale
  • pinch of salt
  • 1/3 cup sliced or slivered almonds
  • 1/3 cup dried cranberries or dried cherries
  • 1/4 red onion, minced
  • 1 red apple, chopped
  • For the Lemon Dressing:
    • 2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
    • 2 Tablespoons lemon juice
    • 2 teaspoons honey
    • 1/2 teaspoon dijon mustard
    • salt and pepper

DIRECTIONS​

  1. Add the pancetta (or bacon, if you're using it) to a small skillet and set the heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring frequently, until the pancetta is browned and crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain, then set aside.
  2. Meanwhile, wash and dry the kale, then remove the leaves from the thick stems and chop them into bite-sized pieces. Place the kale in a large mixing bowl, add a pinch of salt, and use your fingers to massage and crush it until it becomes tender and reduces to half its volume, about 1 minute. Add the almonds, dried cranberries, red onion, apple, and the crisped pancetta.
  3. For the Lemon Dressing: Combine extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper in a jar with a tight-fitting lid or a small bowl. Shake or whisk until well mixed, then drizzle over the salad, toss, and serve. The dressing can be prepared up to 5 days in advance.

    HAPPY EATING!
