Ingredients
1 bunch kale, leaves torn off the stalks
1/4 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon sugar
1 clove garlic, pressed or grated
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 heaping tablespoon sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
3 tangerines, mandarins or clementines (or 1 orange), peeled and cut into chunks
1 jalapeno, seeded and sliced very thin
4 ounces goat cheese (chevre)
Directions
- Grab bunches of the kale leaves and use a sharp knife to thinly slice them. Keep going until you have a big pile of finely shredded kale.
- To make the dressing, combine the orange juice, olive oil, sugar, garlic and some salt and pepper in a small jar. Shake vigorously until combined, then add the sour cream or yogurt and shake again until it's nice and creamy.
- Toss the kale in half the dressing for a minute or so, then add the citrus pieces and jalapeno slices. Toss again until combined. Add a little more dressing if it needs it. (Extra dressing can be stored in the fridge and used for any salad.)
- At the last minute, break the goat cheese into chunks with a fork and toss it into the salad. Serve!
Cook’s Note
Because they kale holds up well, the salad can be tossed 15 minutes before serving.
