An Instagram follower (you know who you are;) asked me to post this recipe, so here it is! It’s the perfect homage to summer!! Enjoy!

Ingredients: Feeds 2 – 4

• 4 cups torn kale, ribs removed (I use organic red leaf)
• juice from half a lemon
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• fresh cracked pepper to taste
• 1/2 cup strawberries, sliced
• 1/2 cup blueberries
• seeds from 1/2 a pomegranate
• 1/3 cup crumbled goat cheese
• 1/4 cup sliced or chopped almonds

Directions:

1. In a large serving bowl, mix torn kale with lemon juice and salt. Massage kale with your hands to tenderize it.
2. Drizzle massaged kale with olive oil and season with fresh cracked pepper.
3. Toss kale with strawberries, blueberries, and pomegranate seeds.
4. Top with goat cheese crumbles and almonds.

Suggestions:

Add protein to this salad to make it a complete meal! I’ve used grilled teriyaki pork loin but I think blackened chicken, salmon or even shrimp would pair nicely!
