KALE & BACON SALAD WITH HONEY-HORSERADISH VINAIGRETTE
Totally scrumptious and packed with nutrition, this salad was my response to friends who asked how they could incorporate kale into their diets without sacrificing taste. It is also wonderful made with collard or mustard greens, prepared in the same fashion as the kale, or with a mix of spinach & arugula or watercress. -Elizabeth Warren, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

RAW KALE SALAD WITH WARM BACON VINAIGRETTE
Steps:
- Lay the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat and cook to your desired crispness, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate, reserving the drippings and leaving any crunchy bits in the skillet.
- While the bacon cooks, remove the stems from the kale and discard. Roll up the leaves lengthwise and slice crosswise into thin strips. Transfer to a large bowl; add the nuts, chickpeas and Parmesan.
- Return the skillet to medium heat and add back 3 tablespoons of the reserved bacon drippings. (If you don't have 3 tablespoons, make up the difference with olive oil.) Add the shallots and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Whisk in the vinegar, brown sugar and mustard, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet. Remove the vinaigrette from the heat and season with salt and pepper.
- Chop the bacon and add it to the bowl. Drizzle in the warm dressing and toss to coat the salad. Serve immediately.
KALE AND APPLE SALAD
Antioxidant-rich kale is even better for you when eaten raw. Thin strips are softened in a light lemon dressing, then tossed with the savory-sweet blend of apple, dates, almonds and cheese. A little pecorino goes a long way in giving this nutritious salad a satisfying depth of flavor.

- Whisk oil, powdered sugar, vinegar, lemon juice, dry mustard, paprika and ground ginger in small bowl to blend. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Combine baby spinach leaves, apple slices, red onion, avocado and bacon in large bowl. Toss salad with enough dressing to coat. Divide salad among plates and serve.
Tips:
- When choosing kale, look for leaves that are dark green and crisp. Avoid leaves that are wilted or have yellow or brown spots.
- To remove the tough stems from kale, hold the leaf by the base and run your fingers down the stem, pulling the leaves away from the stem.
- To massage kale, place it in a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Use your hands to massage the kale for 1-2 minutes, or until it is wilted and softened.
- When cooking bacon, cook it over medium heat until it is crispy. Do not overcrowd the pan, or the bacon will not cook evenly.
- To make the dressing, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until well combined.
- To assemble the salad, place the kale, apples, avocado, bacon, and dressing in a large bowl and toss to coat. Serve immediately.
