Grilled kale salad with ricotta and plums
Indulge in the perfect blend of smoky flavors with this Grilled Kale Salad featuring creamy ricotta and juicy plums, a culinary masterpiece.
Ingredients:
- tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
- teaspoon honey
- Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
- medium plums, halved, pitted, thinly sliced
- large or 16 small curly kale leaves
- /4 cup fresh ricotta
- 5 servings
Instructions:
- Mix together 3 tablespoons of oil, vinegar, thyme, and honey in a medium-sized bowl. Season the vinaigrette with salt and pepper according to your preference. Add the plums and mix well to ensure they are coated; then place the plums onto a plate.
- Prepare a medium-high heat grill using charcoal or preheat a gas grill to high temperature. Coat kale leaves with the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil and season with salt. Grill the kale, turning it over once, until it becomes crispy and slightly charred on the edges, approximately 2 minutes. Transfer the kale to a flat surface and allow it to cool down. Remove the thick center stems using a knife and dispose of them (you can simply trim off the tough ends from the smaller, more tender stems).
- Distribute the ricotta cheese evenly onto plates and season with salt and pepper. Give the vinaigrette a final stir. Tear the larger kale leaves into smaller pieces while leaving the smaller leaves whole. Place the leaves in a large bowl and toss them in some of the vinaigrette. Arrange the leaves on the plates. Top them with the plums and drizzle a bit of vinaigrette over the top.
