Warm Kale Toasted Almond Citrus Salad

It is kale season here in Florida and we had a bunch of fresh kale to make into fabulous dishes!

I decided to make a warm salad with this fresh ingredient along with some cool elements of citrus!

Ingredients:

1)  One large bowl of organic grown kale (10-15 stalks)

2)  One large organic blood orange or orange of choice

3)  1/2 cup of slivered almonds

4)  2-3 Tablespoons of coconut oil

5)  Raspberry vinaigrette (store bought with good ingredients).

6)  Vanilla Bean sea salt and Ghost Pepper sea salt (optional)

Directions:

Wash kale and separate from the stalk into pieces.  Saute kale in a tablespoon of coconut oil until wilted.  Cut up the blood orange into sections and add to plated sauteed kale.  Add 1 tablespoon of coconut oil to small saute pan and lightly brown slivered almonds.  Add almonds to salad and lightly drizzle with raspberry vinaigrette.

I added Vanilla Bean sea salt to heighten the flavor of all ingredients and added a touch of vanilla.  I also added a very little pinch of Ghost Pepper sea salt to add some heat to this sweet salad!

Enjoy!
