Fresh Kale Salad- Recipe in Bloom

This Fresh Kale Salad is a go-to all year around- when I don't have fresh Kale in the garden- I'm always sourcing it at the local Farmer's Market (Yes- I go year round... gotta support those farmers)... I can even find Organic Kale at the local grocery store. Kale is one of the super foods- that provides so many essential goodies for health and wellnes.This fresh Kale salad is created right from the garden featuring variegated Kale - I grew organically!Step 1- Prepare the Dressing:Press a whole clove of GarlicSqueeze a whole lemonAdd ½ cup of Extra Virgin Olive Oil1 Teaspoon Fresh Ground Pepper1 Teaspoon Ground Pink Himalayan SaltMix together… and set aside while you prepare the kale Step 2- Prepare the KaleCut, Break or Tear up about 4 cups of Fresh Kale –You can use any type of Kale- I prefer Tuscan, Red Russian, or Redbor - but you can choose your favorite!Sometimes I let the Kale sit in the refrigerator for a day or two- to wilt a bit and make it bit more tender...Here's a guide to different types of Kale and how to use them! Mix the Kale into the dressing- and toss thoroughly Step 3- Adding the Cheese toppings- YUMMMM!Sprinkle with Grated, Shaved or Powder Parmesan Cheese –Approximately ½ of a cup – Toss gently and allow to set out at room Temperature for about 20-40 minutes to allow the Kale to wilt slightly- sometimes I make it up in the morning for dinner that evening- with more coarse varieties of Kale!Toss again and serve on chilled plates!
