Kale, Goat Cheese, and Bacon Salad

Servings 4 people

Ingredients

  • 20 kale leaves greater than 8" long
  • 2 Tbs maple syrup
  • 3 Tbs balsamic vinegar
  • 1 Tbs lemon juice
  • 1/2 lb cooked bacon chopped
  • 4 oz goat cheese
  • 1/2 cup sliced almonds or pecans optional

Instructions

  1. Using a large knife cut the vein out of the kale leaves. Cut the kale leaves into 1" square chunks. 

  2. Throw the kale leaves, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, and maple syrup into a large pan or wok.

  3. Turn the pan onto medium-low heat on the stovetop.

  4. As the pan heats toss the contents of the pan continuously with a couple of forks until the leaves turn bright green but not wilting.  This should take less than 5 minutes. 

  5. Immediately remove the leaves from the pan and place onto individual plates or bowls. 

  6. Top the bowls with crumbled goat cheese, bacon, and nuts if desired.
