Refreshing and Tasty Kale Salad

Step 1

Start by mixing together olive oil, lemon juice, mustard, finely chopped shallot, garlic, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Set the dressing aside for now. Next, heat a bit of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and toss in the almonds. Cook them for a minute or two until they turn golden and fragrant — watch them closely so they don’t burn. In a large bowl, combine the kale, thinly sliced Brussels sprouts, and the toasted almonds. Pour the dressing over everything and give it a good toss to coat all the ingredients. Sprinkle Pecorino Romano cheese on top, then either dig in right away or let the salad sit for about 30 minutes to let the flavors really come together.
