Afternoon snack

Strange I know, a big bowl of roasted cauliflower. But its delicious and so much better than a bag of chips

    Kale Salad


    Ingredients:

    - Kale (Washed, dried and cut into strips)
    - Raisins
    - Pine Nuts
    - Olive Oil
    - Fresh Lemon
    - Chili Flakes
    - Parmesan Cheese
    - Salt & Pepper


    Directions:

    1. Toast pine nuts and raisins in a bit of olive oil over medium heat.
    2. Combine all ingredients to taste. If you like more lemon, add more lemon. If you like it spicier, add more chili flakes..
    3. Toss until well coated
    4. Allow to sit for about 10-15 minutes so that the lemon and oil can penetrate the leaves. This step really helps to eliminate the bitterness that kale can have.
    5. Plate, and top with shaved Parmesan


    *Mina's Notes/Suggestions*
    - Don't include the stems as they're gross and bitter!
