In Season: Kennett's Kale Salad

POSTED: Monday, March 18, 2013, 11:53 AM

In this week's In Season, I told you all about kale, and talked to Kennett chef Brian Ricci, the man credited with kicking off Philly's kale salad craze. (I think it even preceded the New York kale salad craze.) Below is the recipe for the two-step bowl o' green that started it all; in cheffy fashion, the measurements are in grams. To convert to ounces, multiply by 28.349. A little arithmetic with your dinner.

Kale - 8 large leaves, shredded

Feta - 80g, crumbled

Squash - 80g, roasted and cubed

Beets - 50g, roasted and cubed

Herbs - a small handful, chopped

Sherry Vinegar - 30g

Extra Virgin - 90g

Salt and Pepper to taste

1. Season the kale first with sherry vinegar and allow it to sit for a few minutes to break down the texture a little.

2. Toss the rest of the components together and serve.
