Grilling the kale leaves whole makes them slightly crunchy and smoky tasting. Just make sure they're completely dry or else they'll steam and wilt.
New favorite salad. Used toasted pepitas instead of almonds.
So agree! I lost count on how many times I've done this salad!
Dressing is amazing!
This is a delicious summer salad. It's crunchy, smokey, sweet and a bit sour. I think it needs more crunch. I would add additional raw kale with the stems removed. I would also be very careful on amount to dressing. I used maybe half of what it made.
Really good. I used curly kale instead (on accident), but it still turned out yummy.
I made this recipe just as it's written, except that I only used one apple - which was plenty. I really liked this salad & would probably give it 4 stars, but others at the table thought that it was ok, but not great. If you like kale (& this grilled kale reminds me of kale chips) & you like dates, then you'll probably like this salad.
