Tuscan Kale Salad

Saturday I made my way to True Food Kitchen (Andrew Weil's collaboration with Fox Restaurants) and I had to get my favorite Tuscan Kale Salad. I just knew I would find it online so here's the recipe so we can all enjoy it's tastiness while feeling smugly superior for being so healthy.

4-6 cups kale, loosely packed, sliced leaves of Italian black (Lacinato, "dinosaur," cavolo nero) midribs removed juice of 1 lemon 3-4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 2 cloves garlic, mashed salt & pepper, to taste hot red pepper flakes, to taste 2/3 cup grated Pecorino Toscano cheese (Rosselino variety if you can find it) or other flavorful grating cheese such as Asiago or Parmesan 1/2 cup freshly made bread crumbs from lightly toasted bread

Instructions

Whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, and a generous pinch (or more to taste) of hot red pepper flakes. Pour over kale in serving bowl and toss well.
