My friend Karen is a great cook. She loves to make new things and she cooks all the time. I always think she's kind of surprised when I come up with something yummy and new - I'm not really a cooking fanatic. Lately, though, she's loved my salads. She brought me this one and I love it!
You need:
Dressing:
½ cup shallots, sliced thinly
butter
¼ cup rice wine vinegar (I buy the kind with no sugar in it)
1 tablespoon oil
1 tablespoon grainy mustard
a touch of something sweet - if you must (I used agave syrup)
Salad:
3 cups Kale
1 cup Mint
Sweet onion sliced paper thin
Saute the shallots in the butter until translucent. Add the rice wine vinegar and cook it down. Add the oil, mustard, and agave.
Chiffonade the kale and mint. Add the thinly sliced sweet onion. Add the dressing and mix.
Sprinkle blue cheese on the top to serve.
This is a salad that just gets better with time. Make it early. Make enough to leave overnight for your lunch tomorrow!
