Kale And Ricotta Salata Salad Recipes

WILTED GREENS WITH RICOTTA SALATA

Steps:

• Wash the greens, but do not dry. Trim the large stems and coarsely chop. Set aside.
• Warm 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large, heavy pot over medium-high heat. Add the onions and saute for 4 minutes. Add the garlic and saute for 4 minutes longer. Add the greens, chicken broth, soy sauce, and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until the greens have wilted and become tender, about 7 to 10 minutes.
• Transfer the cooked greens to a serving plate and crumble the ricotta salata cheese over the top.

KALE AND RICOTTA SALATA SALAD

Steps:

• Trim the leaves of the kale above where the stems become thick. (You're going to eat this raw; steam the stems for another use if you like.) Stack the leaves in a pile, roll them like a cigar, and slice it thin crosswise.
• Mix together the shallot, lemon juice, salt (go easy on this at first since the cheese is salty), and oil; taste and add more oil if you like.
• Toss the dressing with the kale and ricotta salata, taste and adjust seasoning, and serve.
