YOUR HEALTHY PLATE: KALE SALAD WITH ALMONDS AND GOLDEN RAISINS

Kale may be eaten cooked, or raw in a salad — as long as it’s very finely chopped.  This recipe is great; don’t be surprised if there’s none left over!
 
1 lb. kale
Slice out the central ribs, and then slice cross-wise into very thin ribbons.  Place in a large bowl.
 
2 tbsp. red onion
1 1/2 tbsp. lemon juice (juice of 1 whole lemon)
2 tsp. honey
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper
1/4 c. olive oil
 
In a second bowl, whisk together above ingredients, and then pour over the kale.  Mix very well. 
 
1/4 cup golden raisins
1/4 cup slivered almonds (or toasted pecans).
 
Garnish with the raisins and nuts. 
 
Bon appetit!
