Grilled Kale Salad with Apricots and Goat Cheese

Servings4
AuthorMelissa Lee

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil divided
  • 2 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 2 teaspoon minced fresh thyme leaves
  • 2 teaspoon honey
  • Sea salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 4 medium firm ripe apricots, pitted and thinly sliced
  • 16 small curly kale leaves
  • 4 oz crumbled goat cheese
  • ½ cup walnuts toasted and coarsely chopped

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, whisk together oil, vinegar, thyme, and honey. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
  • Prepare a moderate charcoal fire for indirect grilling; preheat a gas grill to medium, leaving one burner unlit, or heat a large grill pan over medium heat.
  • Brush the kale leaves with a thin coating of remaining oil using a silicone pastry brush. Grill kale until crispy and slightly charred on the edges, using tongs to turn once, 2-4 minutes. When cooked, transfer to the bowl with vinaigrette, add apricots and toss to coat.

Notes

To serve: divide kale and apricots among individual servings plates. Top each salad with goat cheese and walnuts and serve immediately.
