True Food Tuscan Kale Salad Recipe
The True Food Tuscan kale salad is savory, bright, perfectly textured, and full of flavor. It hits all the right notes: bright lemon, sharp garlic, the warmth of red pepper flakes, and that nutty, umami hit from grana padano or parmigiano reggiano cheese. It’s crave-worthy and simple enough to recreate at home.
Ingredients
2 bunches of Tuscan kale (also known as lacinato kale), de-stemmed and finely chopped
3 lemons, freshly squeezed
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt and red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
1/2 cup finely grated grana padano or parmigiano reggiano cheese
1/2 cup toasted whole wheat bread crumbs (or gluten-free bread crumbs)
Salt and red pepper to taste
Instructions
In a salad bowl whisk together the lemon juice, cup extra virgin olive oil, and garlic salt and red pepper flakes.
Add the chopped kale to the bowl and toss well until evenly coated. Massage the kale gently for 2–3 minutes to help break down the fibers.
Let the salad sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and soften the greens.
Just before serving, add the grated cheese and bread crumbs and toss to combine.
