Kale + Spinach Salad

My sister recently returned home from a weekend getaway to Alabama. Not only did she get to visit a dear friend, but she also got the chance to live off the land. That's right, her friend lives on a farm. Luckily, I also reaped the benefits of farm living; she brought home fresh picked kale. With Thanksgiving just days away, I figured the perfect side to bring to our annual feast would be a simple kale + spinach salad - a nice way to offset the massive amount of stuffing I planned to consume.

This is the perfect salad for any occasion though and is so simple to make.

What you'll need:
A bunch of kale (any kind will do) - rinsed, dried, stems removed
A handful of baby spinach -rinsed and dried
1/4 cup currents
one lemon
1.5 tbsp olive oil
1.5 tsp organic honey
1/2 cup toasted pine nuts
salt and pepper
Shaved Parmesan cheese

What to do:
I like to chop the kale and spinach nice and small, so I throw it in the Vitamix. This is, of course, optional, but it makes the kale and spinach dense. If you use the vitamix, throw in the kale and spinach in small bunches and set the vitamix to low just for a few seconds. Empy the container and throw in another bunch. Continue this process until you chop up all the greens.

In a medium size bowl whisk together the juice of one lemon, olive oil, honey, and salt and pepper. Then add the kale, spinach, currents, pine nuts, and cheese. Toss until the greens are nicely coated with the dressing.

That's it!
