Kale with Roasted Almonds

Kale with Roasted Almonds

This salad takes 5 minutes and we all end up fighting for the last bite. Hagai is my old friend from the air force, he used to be a trouble maker and now he is a good boy and a good cook. When I  see him in the kitchen, I always steal ideas from him. Kale with Roasted Almonds is one dish he inspired me to make. 

 

 

WHAT YOU NEED

- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 Kale bunch
- ½ cup sliced almonds
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- Juice from 1 lemon 
- Salt and pepper to taste


 

HOW TO MAKE

  • On a cutting board, slice the garlic into thin circles.
