KALE AND QUINOA SALAD

Steps:

• Steep the kale in hot water in a large bowl until it turns slightly brighter, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove and pat dry.

• Pour half the dressing over the kale in a large bowl. Massage the kale leaves with your hands. Add the quinoa, tomatoes and more dressing and toss together with 2 spoons. Mix in the goat cheese and pine nuts. Transfer the salad to a serving dish. Allow to sit for 20 minutes before serving.

KALE AND BRUSSELS SPROUT SALAD

Steps:

• In a food processor fitted with a slicing blade, shred the Brussels sprouts. Next, shred the kale. Add the garlic and shallot and shred. (Alternatively, shred and mince the vegetables with a knife.) Set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the pecorino, olive oil, pine nuts, mustard, lemon zest and juice and salt and pepper to taste. Add in the shredded vegetables and toss well to combine. Let the salad sit for 10 minutes before serving to allow the dressing to permeate the greens.

To a large mixing bowl, add the kale. Massage the kale until it darkens and softens. Add the Brussels sprouts and toss to combine. Dress with as much dressing as you'd like. Top with the croutons and cheese. Serve! Any remaining dressing will keep in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
