I've started really liking raw kale salads. I know, I know. It started with a grapefruit, kale and sunflower seed salad at Acre. But I recently wanted to make a cole slaw, realized I had a bunch of dinosaur kale in the fridge, and got an idea. This combination of flavors works well to balance out the kale taste (I know some people don't like it), but you're welcome to try other things if you like them.
INGREDIENTS
1 bunch dinosaur (lacinato) kale
1 large or 2 small carrots
1 large, crisp apple
plain yogurt
salt & pepper to taste
sunflower seeds
Wash the kale and remove the ribs with a knife. Slice it into very very thin strips and toss it into a bowl. Grate the carrot(s) (grating a bigger one is easier, but use what you have) and apple and toss them in. Pour maybe 1/4 cup yogurt it and toss everything together with tongs. If the yogurt lightly coats everything, you're good. If not, add a little more and keep tossing and adding until everything has a bit of yogurt on it. Sprinkle some salt & pepper in, toss again, and taste to see if you've added enough. Sprinkle the top with sunflower seeds, or another chopped nut or seed if you prefer.
