Kale Salad

Ingredients

• 1 bunch kale
• ½ teaspoon sea salt
• ¼ cup diced red onion
• ⅓ cup currants, raisins, or dried cranberries or cherries
• ⅓ cup diced apple (about ½ an apple)
• ⅓ cup sunflower seeds, toasted
• ¼ cup olive oil
• 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar or unfiltered apple cider vinegar

Directions

1. De-stem kale by pulling leaves away from stems. Wash leaves, spin or pat dry. Stack leaves, roll up and cut into thin ribbons. Put kale in a large mixing bowl.
2. Add salt and massage it into the kale with your hands for 2 minutes (skipping this step will leave you with tough, stringy kale).
3. Stir onions with dried fruit, apple, and sunflower seeds into the kale. Dress with oil and vinegar.
4. Taste for sea salt and vinegar, adding more if necessary. Also taste a few bites to see if balance of sweet/sour/crunchy/chewy are all well mixed. Add extra of what you miss.
