Raw Kale Salad With Gouda Pear And Walnuts Recipe

Ingredients

1/2 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped

1 tablespoon sherry vinegar

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

Coarse salt and ground pepper

1 bunch Russian kale (about 1 1/4 pounds), tough stems removed and leaves torn into bite-size pieces

2 1/2 ounces goat’s milk gouda, cut into 1/2-by-1/4-inch pieces

6 chives, cut into 1-inch lengths

1 Anjou pear, halved, cored, and very thinly sliced crosswise

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place walnuts on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until golden brown, tossing once during baking, 8 to 10 minutes.

In a medium bowl, whisk together vinegar and oil; season with salt and pepper. Add in kale, cheese, chives, walnuts, and pear. Toss to combine.
