Massaged Kale Salad
- For the pickling:
- 1/2 cup white vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 5 ounces cherries, halved and pitted
- 1 small kohlrabi, skin peeled and julienned
- For the salad:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon honey
- 1 large bunch laminate or Red Russian kale, stems removed and leaves roughly torn
- 1/2 small red onion, slicked thin
- 1 ounce Parmesan cheese, sliced thin
- Freshly ground black pepper
- In a small bowl, whisk together vinegar, sugar, and salt. Place cherries in one small bowl or jar and kohlrabi in another. Pour half the vinegar over cherries and the other half over the kohlrabi, stirring to coat. Set aside while you make the rest of the salad, about 10-15 minutes.
