Kale and I are not the best of friends. I know it’s good for you and yes, I am aware of its versatility but most of the time it’s just too fibrous for my taste. That’s why you’re far more likely to see Tuscan or Lacinato kale on this blog rather than the green or red variety. But even the more tender members of the kale family can require a lot of chewing. That’s where this Marinated Kale Salad comes in. This fully loaded bowl of green goodness features bite-sized pieces of kale marinated in a pickled shallot rice wine vinaigrette. The bowl is rounded out with soy braised tofu pieces, heirloom carrots, blood orange segments, and tamari almonds. Trust me, this is far from a sad desk salad.
