WATCH 77‘ _ .4 ,iiifi, - Thursday, July 2, 2020 Shelton-Mason County Page A.13 PM a fresh, local meal, try making a kale salad fter what has felt like an endless Aspring, summer is finally here. And what better way to kick off sum- mer than preparing a fresh, local, and seasonal kale salad with ingredients from local farms. Kale salads are a staple in my family and everyone, kids and adults alike, need to eat more of this wonderful vegetable. Many people think of kale as a winter hardy vegetable best for cooking or in soup, and it is, but it alsovmakes a'won- derful summer salad green as well. My fa— I vorite variety of kale for summer salads is Lacina- to or Tuscan kale, sometimes called dinosaur kale because of the bumpy texture of its leaves. The bumpy texture holds the dressing on the leaves and gives a nice loft to the salad on the plate. Kale is probably not your first thought for a Fourth of July barbecue, but the contrasting dark green leaves with the bright red strawberries make for a festive-looking salad. I have had plenty of people tell me that they don’t like kale, but I tell them to try this recipe and they will change their mind. Kale is a vegetable in the brassica family and is related to broccoli, cabbage and collards. Kale, like collards, doesn’t form a head vegetable but instead the individual leaves are harvested and bunch together by hand. Kale as a cultivar is a precursor to headed cabbages and broccolis. Kale was widely V grown and eaten throughout Europe in the Middle ByANDREA MILLER Ages in kitchen gardens as a staple veg— etable due to its Winter hardiness and nutritional value. Kale is an easy veg- etable to grow in your garden. It isn’t too late to plant it now and harvest some for the fall. Another wonderful thing about kale is that you can leave it in the garden over winter and in the spring, it will pro- duce tasty broccoli-like shoots that you can eat. They are a fantastic early spring treat and an easy first harvest since all you had to do is leave it in the garden. I am on a mission to make sure more people learn to love kale. It is just so delicious and nutritious, too. I think this salad, with its color- ful fruit, will win almost anyone over who doesn’t think they like kale. Strawberry-Kale Summer Salad 1 bunch Lacinato or Tuscan; 1 pint strawber- ries, sliced; 4 to 5 medium radishes, sliced thin and roughly chopped; 2 ounces chilled goat cheese; 3 tablespoons olive oil; tablespoons apple cider vinegar; 1 tablespoon smooth Dijon mustard; 1- 1/2 teaspoons honey; .14 cup walnuts or pumpkin seeds; Sea salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste.

KENNEL CONTACT INFORMATION: To prepare the kale: Use a knife to remove the tough ribs from the kale (save them in the freezer for making brothl). Chop the kale leaves into small, bite—sized pieces. Transfer the chopped kale to a big salad bowl. Sprinkle a small pinch of sea salt over the kale and massage the leaves with your hands by lightly scrunching big handfuls at a time, until the leaves are darker in color and fragrant. To assemble the salad: Drizzle in the salad dressing and toss well until all of the kale is light— ly coated in dressing. Add the sliced strawberries and chopped radishes, then use a fork to crumble the goat cheese over the salad. Toss again, then sprinkle with a couple handfuls of nuts. For best flavor, let the salad rest for 15 minutes before serving —— that allows the dressing time to soak into the kale and the flavors to meld.
