Kale salad

Last week, I was in New York – celebrating a dear friend’s birthday, shopping for client projects and meeting with some of my New York clients.

The meeting that topped them all was with my client, who invited me to her home in Short Hills and made me the most beautiful lunch.  We chatted for hours about the next plans as we sat around in her recently remodeled kitchen.  She made a delicious butternut squash soup and a salad with kale that I haven’t been able to get out of my mind all week.

I recreated it over the weekend, and just had to share.  Healthy, flavorful and easy.

Kale salad with avocado, pistachios and currants

1 bunch of kale

½ cup of pistachios

½ cup of dried currants

1 avocado cubed

juice of 1 lemon

½ cup of grated Parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons olive oil

salt and pepper

Wash and chop kale, add all ingredients into one bowl and toss.

Thank you, Patricia, for the lovely afternoon!
