For a new twist on a kale salad, try adding some home-made Medjool date purée. Smear a spoonful of the purée on each plate and top it with finely shredded kale leaves. Sprinkle the salad with toasted pine nuts and Panko bread crumbs which will add the crunchy depth to the dish. To satisfy a carnivore, add finely chopped fried pancetta or bacon. When selecting kale, look for dark green, firm leaves in a bunch. It will last a couple of days in the refrigerator in a loose plastic bag but be warned- it will get tougher and wilt quickly. Try to use kale on the day of purchase, if that wasn’t possible you can try to resuscitate the leaves in an ice-bath before use.
