Ingredients
- 1 large bunch curly kale, center ribs and stems removed, washed, dried, and chopped finely
- 1/4 cup Olive oil
- 1/4 cup Apricot preserves
- 1 1/2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons Freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon Sea salt
- 1 pinch Black pepper
- 1 cup Puy or beluga lentils, (substitute brown lentils if they’re what you have), rinsed and picked over
- 1 cup red cabbage, shredded or shredded kohlrabi
Instructions
-
Whisk together olive oil, apricot preserves, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper.
-
Turn kale into a large mixing bowl, and massage 6 T of the dressing into the salad. You’ll need enough dressing for the salad to be well coated and start taking on a “wilted” texture. Set aside.
-
Place lentils in a small saucepan with enough water to cover them by 3-4 inches (approximately 2 1/2 cups). Bring water to a boil, then reduce heat, add a pinch of salt, and let the lentils simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the lentils are tender but not mushy
-
Allow lentils to cool slightly and add them, along with the cabbage, to the kale, and add another 2 T vinaigrette. Use hands to combine. Add extra dressing as needed, and season to taste
