Steps:
- Toast the pine nuts: Heat a small skillet on medium high heat. Spread the pine nuts in an even layer on the bottom of the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned. Then remove to a bowl to allow to cool. Hint when toasting nuts: do not take your eyes off of them! Nuts can go from browned to burned very quickly.
- Make the dressing: In a smaller bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, rice vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper.
- Dress the kale and toss with nuts and cranberries: A half hour to an hour or two before serving, toss the kale together with the toasted pine nuts, the dried cranberries, and the dressing, allowing the kale to marinate a bit.
- Right before serving, stir in the grated Parmesan cheese
MARINATED KALE SALAD WITH INFUSED BALSAMIC GOLDEN RAISINS &
I had been looking for a good marinated Kale salad but couldn't find one for me. Most of them have avocado but I'm not a big fan. This is my version of a Marinated Kale salad.

Steps:
- First, take the golden raisins and pour them into a tupperware container with the pear infused balsamic vinegar and let them soak overnight. Make sure the vinegar covers the raisins completely.
- Next, chop up the kale to small almost shredded like pieces. Sprinkle a little sea salt onto your hands and lightly massage the kale to start the wilting process. This will soften up the leaves a little bit. Next in another bowl wisk the maranade of grapeseed oil, lemon juice, honey, salt and pepper. Pour over the chopped kale greens. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
- The next day, drain the remainder of the balsamic vinegar from golden raisins then and add them to the kale salad. Chop the walnuts and add them to the salad. Mix ingredients together serve and enjoy.
