A sweet, savory and refreshing twist on the usual kale salad.

Ingredients

Scale

Pickled watermelon

  • 1 cup champagne vinegar
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons finely minced shallot
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 2 cups 1″ diced seedless watermelon

Vinaigrette

  • 1/2 cup reserved pickling liquid
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • Kosher salt

Salad

  • 2 cups thinly sliced kale (curly green kale or Tuscan)
  • 4 oz soft feta, crumbled
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. To pickle watermelon: Combine pickling ingredients and toss diced watermelon to thoroughly combine. Let marinate for at least 3 hours.
  2. To prepare salad: Combine reserved pickling liquid and olive oil. (During class, we used equal parts pickling liquid and olive oil.) Toss kale leaves with just enough vinaigrette to lightly coat. Gently massage the kale by hand to tenderize, about 1-2 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings.
  3. To assemble salad: Arrange dressed kale on salad plates. Garnish with pickled watermelon, feta and shredded mint. Grind fresh black pepper on top.
