Lacinato kale salad with dried cranberries and walnuts (recipe)


  1. Toast the nuts lightly in a dry pan over low heat, stirring until they begin to turn golden and release their toasted fragrance. Set aside to cool.
  2. Pour about 1/2 cup boiling water over the cranberries and leave them to soften until you are ready to toss into the salad, at least 15 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, wash and dry the kale, slice away the stems and discard them. Stack the greens and roll them into tight bundles, then slice very thinly with a sharp knife; you re aiming for a shredded look. You should have about 6 cups of shredded kale, which will shrink quite a bit the moment it is tossed with the oil and vinegar. Place the kale in a large bowl.
  4. Wash and dry the arugula, cut off any tough-looking stems and cut it in short pieces. Toss the arugula with the kale.
  5. Slice the olives off their pits/stones and cut them in slivers. Core and seed the red pepper, quarter it lengthwise and cut it in matchsticks. Toss the olives, nuts and pepper with the kale.
  6. Drain the cranberries, then toss with the kale. Toss in the olive and walnut oils, the vinegar, sea salt and pepper. Taste the salad and correct the seasoning with a touch more salt or a drop of vinegar if it s needed; how much salt you need will depend on how salty the olives are. Just before serving, add the crumbled cheese if you like.
  7. This salad keeps well for a day or so, though it will become softer as it sits. Because it is sturdy, it can travel to a picnic or a potluck.
