Recipe type: Salad
Serves: 2 large salads, 4-6 as a side
Ingredients
  • For the dressing:
  • Juice of one lime
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • ¼ tsp chili flakes
  • sea salt and pepper to taste
  • For the salad:
  • 1 bunch lacinato kale (dinosaur/tuscan kale)
  • 2 naval oranges
  • ⅓ cup flaked almonds
  • ½ cup feta, crumbled
Method
  1. Whisk the dressing ingredients and set aside.
  2. De-stem the kale, and cut the leaves into small ribbons (the smaller the ribbons, the more tender they will become). Transfer the kale into a large bowl, sprinkle with sea salt and pour the dressing over the top. Using your fingers, massage the kale for a few minutes until the leaves start to become tender, then set aside. The leaves will continue to become tender as they marinate in the dressing, so you can leave the leaves for up to a few hours if you desire
  3. Cut each orange into quarters segments, and then run the knife along the peel of the orange and remove any excess rind. Cut each orange quarter in half and add to the bowl
  4. Toast the almonds gently in a hot dry pan until they are golden and fragrant, add them to the bowl with the kale and orange
  5. Finally crumble feta into the bowl, and give everything a good toss to combine
