  • 1 lb curly or tuscan kale (1 large bunch), remove thick center rib, sliced
  • 1 cup coarsely grated Parmigiano Reggiano (optional)

Dressing

  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (2 lemons)
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbs Dijon mustard
  • 2 tbs finely chopped shallots, from one large shallot
  • 1 small clove garlic, minced

Instructions

  1. Combine the brussels sprouts and kale in a large bowl.
  2. Make the dressing by combining ingredients in a small bowl. Pour over the vegetables. Add the almonds and cheese, toss. Let the salad sit at room temperature for 30 minutes (or up to a few hours in the fridge) to allow the flavors to meld and the vegetables to soften. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Enjoy
