I tried the recipe for Lemon-Garlic Kale Salad.
The kale in my garden looked ready to pick.
LEMON-GARLIC KALE SALAD
For the dressing:
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
3/4 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/8 teaspoon salt
For the salad:
1 (10 ounce) package kale, stemmed and torn into bite-size pieces
1/3 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
2 carrots, peeled and diced
To make the dressing:
In a jar with a lid, combine the lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, and salt. Seal the lid and shake vigorously to blend the dressing. Refrigerate the dressing for at least 15 minutes.
To make the salad:
Divide the kale into 2 large bowls. Divide the cheese and carrots between each bowl. If eating right away, drizzle the salads with the dressing and toss to coat.
I picked the kale I needed. Then I removed the stems and broke it into small pieces.
I cut up the carrots.
My sister-in-law had given me lemons from her lemon tree.
I chopped up the garlic and added it to the lemon juice, olive oil, and salt.
It was a quick, delicious, and nutritious meal.
