Kale Salad with Pinenuts, Currants and Parmesan

This vibrant kale salad with pine nuts and currants is a sophisticated vegetarian dish that strikes a perfect balance between sweet, savoury, and acidic flavours. By soaking the currants in balsamic vinegar and allowing the thinly sliced Tuscan kale to marinate in the dressing, the hardy leaves soften beautifully while absorbing the bright, honey-flecked vinaigrette. It is a textured, nutritious salad that feels much more indulgent than its simple ingredient list suggests.

Ideal as a healthy lunch or a refined side dish for a dinner party, this recipe highlights the versatility of seasonal greens. The addition of toasted pine nuts provides a delicate crunch, while shavings of salty Parmesan cheese offer a rich finish. For the best results, ensure you prepare the currants a day in advance to achieve that characteristic plump texture.
