Kale Salad With Raisins And Blue Cheese Recipe

Ingredients

1/3 cup plus 1 teaspoon olive oil

2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon sherry vinegar

2 teaspoons honey

Salt and black pepper

1 garlic clove

1 to 1 1/2 pounds kale, trimmed of thick stems and chopped

2 medium carrots, grated

1/2 cup raisins

1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese

Preparation

Put 1/3 cup of the oil, 2 tablespoons of the vinegar, the honey, and some salt and pepper in a blender and turn the machine on; an emulsion will form within 30 seconds. Add the garlic and pulse a few times to mince it within the dressing. Taste and adjust the seasoning.

Drizzle the remaining 1 teaspoon oil and 1 teaspoon vinegar over the kale and knead until tender and beginning to wilt, 1 to 2 minutes. Toss with the carrots, raisins, cheese and vinaigrette, and serve.
