Servings 8 servings
Ingredients
- 4 blood oranges
- 2 bunches kale we used Lacinato kale
- 1 teaspoon salt for rubbing
- 0.333333 cup olive oil plus more for rubbing
- 0.5 cup Brazil nuts chopped
- 1 lemon or lime juiced, and save the zest
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- black pepper
- 2 drops stevia to taste; optional
Instructions
- Slice and segment the blood oranges, saving any juice that escapes, and set aside. Wash and drain the kale. Tear it into bite-sized pieces, or slice into thin ribbons. Sprinkle with half the salt and a drizzle of olive oil, and gently rub the salt into the kale with your bare hands to break it down just a bit and release the brilliant green color. Taste, and add more salt if desired. Combine the kale with the orange segments/juice and the chopped nuts. Whisk together the olive oil, citrus zest and juice, minced garlic, black pepper and stevia, if desired. Dress the salad and toss well. (Recipe #736)
