Ode To Vermont Salad

• For the vinaigrette:
• 2 tablespoons maple syrups
• 1 tablespoon coarse grain mustard
• 1/4 cup white wine vinegar
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 1 small shallot, minced
• 1 pinch kosher salt
• 1 pinch freshly ground black pepper
• For the salad:
• 1 bunch of kale (curly or Tuscan)
• 1 packet Brussels sprouts, halved or quartered and roasted
• 5 slices of thick cut bacon, cooked
• 1 cup cooked barley
• 1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted
• 1 chicken breast, cooked and chopped or ripped
• 1 handful dried cranberries
• 2 radishes, sliced
• Parmesan cheese, for serving

1. To make the vinaigrette: In a mixing cup or small bowl, add the maple syrup, mustard, shallot, white wine vinegar, and olive oil. Whisk vigorously until everything is emulsified. Add salt and pepper for seasoning.
2. To make the salad: Rip or cut your kale into bite-sized pieces, place in a salad bowl and drizzle with a little olive oil. Massage the oil into the kale, until the kale is slightly softened.
3. Add the bacon, chicken, Brussels sprouts, barley, almonds, cranberries, and radishes to the kale. Toss it all with a few tablespoons of your vinaigrette (you'll have leftovers), serve with a dusting of Parmesan and enjoy!
