Kale and Feta Salad








For the salad:
2 bunches kale
3 garlic cloves, chopped
1 small red onion, diced into small pieces
¼ cup unsalted almonds, coarsely chopped
¼ cup feta cheese

For the dressing:
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
¼ cup olive oil
¼ teaspoon sea salt or to taste
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper or to taste
Juice of 1 lemon

Procedure
1. Remove rough stems from the kale. Then roughly chop greens into bite size pieces. Wash the greens in a medium bowl, immersing them in cold water. Move the greens around a bit to loosen any dirt. Pour off the water. Repeat until water comes out clear. To dry the greens, lay them out on paper towels, top with another paper towel and roll them into a log. Squeeze them gently, Set aside.

2. In the same bowl, using a whisk or a fork, combine dressing ingredients. Add kale, garlic, red onions to dressing. Using washed hands, mix and massage the greens well to combine, so that the greens are well coated with the dressing. Allow the greens to marinate for 20 minutes.

3. Add the almonds and feta cheese just before serving. Mix well. Enjoy!
