Winter Salad – Tuscan Kale/Radicchio/Almond

There is still time to enjoy the heartiness of winter salads with your favorite grilled or braised meats. Here is a simple yet tasty salad which utilizes only a handful of ingredients.

Ingredients:

  • 1 bundle Tuscan Kale
  • 1 small radicchio
  • ½ cup almonds, chopped
  • Dressing:
  • 1 tablespoon grated ginger
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • Salt and pepper

Directions:

  1. Slice the kale and radicchio into thin ribbons. Combine with almonds
  2. Mix dressing ingredients until emulsified. Dress greens. You will have some dressing left over. Serve.

This salad goes well with heartier dishes, and a red wine such as the Taft Street 2011 Russian River Valley Pinot Noir would be especially nice.
