I have experienced a love hate relationship with kale. I know it is a healthy choice in the leafy green category, but I’ve struggled with the texture and bitterness of the raw leaves. The creamy almond vinaigrette teamed with this salad is able to pull it altogether. I’ve served this salad on a number of occasions and have been pleasantly surprised by how often there is a request for more.
In large bowl toss together sliced kale, tomato wedges and 1 cup of almonds. Prepare vinaigrette in blender or food processor, mix vinegar, honey, shallot, thyme, mustard, salt, pepper, garlic and remaining almonds. Blend until smooth, about 45 seconds to 1 minute. Slowly drizzle in oil, blending until all oil is added and dressing is thickened. Toss almond dressing into kale until lightly coated. This dressing is quite thick and will take some additional tossing to get the kale evenly coated.kale salad with almond vinaigrette
