DIRECTIONS

Chop your kale as fine as possible. OPTIONAL – with your clean washed hands and massage the kale until it begins to soften and break down. A few minutes. Let sit for 5 minutes and then add your remaining ingredients. Toss with the prepared dressing. Add cheese for garnish. Serves 4-6.
Lemon Thyme Vinaigrette
Add all ingredients, except the olive oil, to a small container with a lid (like a mason jar, but a bowl and a whisk will work also). Whisk or shake everything together. Add the olive oil, put the lid on and shake vigorously until it is emulsified. Taste with a piece of lettuce and re-season dressing if necessary. Store in refrigerator, it’ll keep for a generous 2 weeks.
When dressing a green like Kale you can be more generous as it is quite hardy and can take a lot of dressing.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
