Plum Good Kale Salad

A tasy variation on ingredients hanging around in the 'fridge.

Layer or just pile in a big bowl:

1 cup Kale, ripped to bite size pieces

1 Plum, chopped

10 Tomato, grape, halved

1.5 oz Jarlsberg cheese, chopped into pieces

Dress with:
1 tbsp Olive oil
2 tbsp Balsamic vinegar

Rated a 4.68 on the Kale Scale.

Fresh Corn and Kale

This paired nicely with some salmon that I had for dinner. It was fairly quick to put together.

Shuck the ear of corn, and microwave in a glass dish that will hold all ingredients. 2 min:

1 ear Corn, yellow

Add to the dish, the liquid and put kale and cabbage on either side of the corn. Microwave 2 more minutues:

1 cup Kale, chopped to bite size pieces

1/3 cup Red cabbage, chopped

2 tbsp White wine

1 tbsp Vinegar, balsamic

Cut the corn off the cob, and leave the corn kernals in the dish with the kale. Add the following and microwave 1-2 minutes:

9 item Grape tomatoes

1/2 tsp Black pepper, ground

1.5 tsp Butter

Serve with a topping of:

1.5 tsp Walnut, english, chopped fine

Rated a 4.64 on the Kale Scale.

With the weather getting cooler, creating a quick stir fry type of mixture is ok. Heating up the kitchen not a problem when it's in the 60s and misting.

Start by sauting to soften up the cabbage:

2 tsp Olive oil

1/2 cup Red cabbage, chopped

1/3 cup Onion, chopped

Then add:

3 medium Radish, sliced

10 item Tomato, grape, halved

1 pear Pear, cored and chopped

1/2 tsp Black pepper, ground

Add, cover and wilt the Kale:
1 tbsp Vinegar, balsamic, Olive Pit (yum!)
5 tbsp Wine, white table
3/4 cup Kale, ripped to bite size pieces

After putting on plate, top with:

2 tsp Walnut, chopped for topping

Rated a 4.45 on the Kale Scale.

Could have been higher if I'd put more balsamic vinegar and wine in it; and not cook as long as I did.
