The Best Kale Salad

2 bunches kale, roughly chopped, stems included or not-your choice

3 teaspoon olive oil

1 bunch scallions, white and green parts

½ bunch cilantro or parsley

2 large carrots, grated

½ cup raisins

½ cup sunflower seeds

About ½ cup of your favorite dressing.  Here’s one that Spencer loves!

1 cup olive oil

1/3 cup rice vinegar

½ cup cooked, crumbled bacon

2 tablespoons finely chopped shallot

pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper

1.  Mix kale and olive oil in a large bowl.  Using your hands, gently massage the kale until it starts to wilt a little, 3-4 minutes.  This will make it more tender to eat raw.  Add the rest of the ingredients and mix together.  Pour on dressing and toss to combine.  Serve cool.  Serves approximately 8 as a side dish.
