Tuscan Kale Salad With Currants & Pecans In A Resonant Dressing
- 1 bunch Tuscan kale (also known as dinosaur kale), any tough stems removed and sliced into thin strips (also known as chiffonade)
- 1/3 cup dried currants, plumped in warm water or orange juice for a few minutes, then drained
- 1/3 cup pecans, toasted in a 350 oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until fragrant, then roughly chopped
- 1/3 cup best quality olive oil
- 3 tablespoons walnut oil (or hazelnut oil or any nut oil)
- 8 tablespoons sherry vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon tabasco, or to taste
- 1 small shallot, peeled and minced
- 1/2 teaspoon prepared Dijon mustard
- plenty of kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- Toss the kale, currants and pecans together in a salad bowl.
- Combine all other ingredients, which make the Resonant Dressing, in a lidded jar and shake until emulsified.
- Pour dressing onto kale and toss again. One bonus of this recipe is that it's a rare leaf salad that will hold, even after being dressed, for serving--up to several hours.
