Ingredients
>
1 (16 oz) pkg kale greens
>
5 tbsp olive oil
>
3 tbsp lemon juice
>
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more to garnish
>
1/4 tsp garlic powder
>
2 medium pears
>
1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced
>
1/4 cup roasted pepitas/pumpkin seeds
Steps
1
Remove any stems from the kale and tear into small pieces. In a large serving bowl, whisk together the oil, lemon juice, Parmesan, and garlic powder. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
2
Add kale to bowl with dressing. Using clean hands, massage kale until volume is reduced by half. Let sit up to 30 min., if desired, to wilt even more.
3
Cut the pears into quarters, removing seeds. With a mandoline or very sharp knife, very thinly slice the pears. Top salad with pears, red onion, and pumpkin seeds. Top with more Parmesan, if desired. Serve immediately.
