i came across this recipe a while back, printed it, tossed it aside and finally got around to making it. glad i did, it's really good. it's different, it's simple, it's attractive and it's healthy. i found it on another blog, running with tweezers. i changed mine up only by blanching the kale, putting it in a cold water bath and then spinning the greens. other than that, i followed the recipe exactly. next time i make it, and i will, i am going to use a white balsamic vinaigrette, rather than the horseradish dressing in the original recipe. i free pour when i make my dressings, but all my vinaigrettes are pretty much made like this: 1/4 cup of vinegar, small clove of garlic or shallot, minced, 1 teaspoon (maybe a bit less) of honey, 1-2 teaspoons of dijon mustard (don't substitute), salt, fresh cracked pepper, and a little less than 1/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil. i know, i know, you are probably thinking my ratios to dressing and oil are off, but i like a more vinegary tasting dressing and the use of less oil. most chefs go for a 2:1 ratio of oil to vinegar, try it my way and let me know what you think. also, make sure to check out running with tweezers, this chick takes incredible photographs (she's a food stylist), but she also has wonderful recipes.
