Kale Salad with Pine Nuts, Currants and Parmesan. I never grow kale

[joe]

because I don't know what to do with it, despite how good it is for you.

I am planting some after tasting this salad at a friend's house. She used chopped prunes instead of currants, and did it all within an hour instead of overnight marinating, but the flavors were wonderful. I had two helpings.

This is a painless and delicious way to down raw kale!

I was amazed at what your gardeners were growing! I have never seen an avocado plant, and what

was the tall plant in the beginning of the video? I fear kale also, but will try the rec. Thanks for posting.
Best,

I put Kale pieces in salads, on sandwiches and in smoothies.

The really tall plant is a Swiss Chard that has bolted to seed. Useless at this point, but pretty.

I don't see any picture...what am I missing?

Just an over-designed photo of julienned kale with two big sheets of Parmesan. In reality,

the salad is a little wilted and the Parmesan could easily be grated.
