Sage Farms Lemony Kale Salad

• ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 Tbsp lemon juice + zest of 1 lemon 
• 2 garlic cloves finely minced
• ¼ tsp salt
• Pinch of red pepper flakes – or more if you like things spicy!
• ½ pound Kale – leaves sliced in ¼ inch shreds
• ¼ cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese – plus shavings for garnish if desired

2 Tbsp toasted breadcrumbs – can be omitted if you don’t have any on hand or the time to make them

In a large bowl, whisk together oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, salt and pepper flakes. Add kale and toss to coat. Let sit at room temperature for 10-30 minutes. Kale is a hearty green and gets better with time in dressing.

One it has set for a while add the cheese and breadcrumbs and toss. Garnish with cheese shavings if you wish.

ENJOY!!
