Lemony Kale Salad

I keep hearing about using raw kale in salads so this was a first in our house. Instead of swiss chard I used purple kale. The shaved cheese was a must and added a lot of flavor as did the pepitas.

I made a few substitutions, but we loved this. Used fresh kale from our garden (no Swiss chard). Substituted "Tuscan" flavored EVOO (you could use regular and add a little garlic and herbs), fresh sweet onions from the garden and toasted pecans because I didn't have pepitos, and shredded parmesan. Yum - will be making this again, because it is easy to use what you have and make a great salad!
