Sauteed Kale Green Salad

It's CSA time again! I happen to know that the crew at BaltimOrganic have been working super hard to have a great growing season. They have an awesome green house to grow all different types of lettuce and that is some of what we are getting in our first week! I love the fresh, organic lettuces! 

(actual recipe not pictured)


What you'll use from your bag:

• Kale
  
• Garlic Scapes (these look like green onion)
• Spring onions
• Salad turnips
  
• Lollo Rosa &  Green Bibb Leaf Lettuces
  

First, Prepare:

• chop  about 6 sprigs for garlic scapes and spring onions
• cut the kale down to a size you would like for sauteing and eating
• thinly slice a couple  salad turnips
• prepare the other lettuces as you would like in a salad

Then, Salad Dressing: 
You can use whatever dressing you want but I suggest something light and lemon based.
In a small bowl, whisk together: 

• 1 T. fresh lemon juice 
• 1 tsp. honey 
• ½ tsp. balsamic vinegar 
• ½ tsp. Dijon mustard 
• Slowly whisk in 2 or 3 T. extra virgin olive oil until dressing thickens. 
• Season with salt and pepper to taste
  

Next, Create the Salad Base: 

• In a large bowl, combine the lettuce, radishes, and salad turnips
• Toss in the dressing

Nearly Finished...:
We are going to saute the Kale with the garlic scapes and spring onions in sesame oil (if you don't have sesame oil, you can use olive oil). 

• over medium heat, heat just enough sesame oil to lightly cover your pan 
• add the chopped garlic scapes and spring onion & saute for a couple minutes
• add the cut kale & continue sauteing until tender and wilted
• season with salt and pepper to taste

All together...:

• arrange the prepared raw salad nicely in individual bowls 
• top with the saute kale
• add whatever else you like
• Enjoy
