Time 35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

½ cup olive oil
6 teaspoons white balsamic vinegar
4 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 ½ teaspoons honey
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
12 strips bacon
4 large shallots, thinly sliced into rings
12 cups packed kale, massaged
3 roasted red peppers, drained and chopped
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 large cloves garlic, minced
½ cup walnuts
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Whisk olive oil, balsamic vinegar, mustard, honey, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes together to make the vinaigrette.
  • Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels. Reserve 3 tablespoons bacon fat in the skillet.
  • Cook shallots in the bacon fat until golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain on a paper towel.
  • Add kale and red peppers to the skillet and saute until warmed through but not wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Place kale, red peppers, and garlic in a serving bowl. Top with the vinaigrette, diced bacon, shallots, walnuts, and Parmesan cheese.
