Kale Salad with Sweet + Spicy Golden Raisins

Spicy and sweet golden raisins give this kale salad a kick.

  • 2 cups (or more) dino kale
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 shallot, sliced (should yield about 3 tbsp)
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/2 cup golden raisins
  • 2 tbsp white balsamic
  • Juice from 1/2 lemon
  • 1 tsp red pepper flakesĀ 

Step 1

Make the salad. Massage the dino kale with the olive oil and salt. Set aside. Add 2 tbsp of the sliced shallot to the salad. Reserve 1 tbsp for the raisin mixture.


Step 2

Make the raisin mixture. Add the avocado oil to a pan on medium heat. Add the garlic and shallots once the oil shimmers. Mix a bit to avoid burning, then add the raisins and stir. Quickly add the white balsamic and lower the heat (it will bubble as the vinegar cooks off a bit.) Add the lemon juice and stir to combine. Finally add the red pepper flakes, and take off heat. Top the salad with the raisin mixture, and serve immediately.
