Simple ingredients for big flavor.
Sometimes you want something super simple, yet refreshing with your heavy dinner.
Today was such a day.
I stole this recipe from Lydia, though granted, she probably still makes it better than I do.
It is really quick, easy, and fresh. And even though it is this simple, generally anyone experiencing it is impressed.
Cut or shred the kale into ribbons
Kale and Grapefruit Salad:
Ingredients:
1 bunch kale, stems removed and sliced into ribbons
1 grapefruit, peeled and segmented
1 – 2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and fresh cracked Pepper to taste
Method:
Peel and segment the grapefruit, but save the skeleton to juice
Wash the kale leaves and spin dry in a lettuce spinner.
Fold each leaf in half at the spine and cut the spine away, then cut the leaf into ribbons.
Peel the grapefruit and cut the segments out, avoiding as much of the membrane as possible.
Throw it all into a bowl. Before discarding the grapefruit skeleton, squeeze the remaining juice into the bowl.
Salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste brings out the flavors
Pour in the olive oil.
Add salt and pepper to taste, and mix well.
Make this first, as the longer the kale sits in the grapefruit juice the more it will break down.
