Garlicky peacock kale and fresh purple and white cauliflower are lightly sauteed, just until they are warm and slightly tender. Served warm or room temperature, this was a great twist on our typical dinner salad. My husband and I enjoyed this, while my boys were less than thrilled. Luckily, they had the option of a veggie box with ranch dip to keep them happy.
Warm Peacock Kale and Purple Cauliflower Salad
1/2 large head of white peacock kale, about 4 cups roughly chopped, rinsed and lightly shaken dry
1 very small head of purple cauliflower, broken into florets and sliced in half as desired, about two cups
1/2 small head of white cauliflower, thinly sliced into bite size pieces, about two cups
4 cloves of garlic, minced
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
kosher salt, to taste
freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
In a very large cold skillet, place the oil and the garlic. Set heat to medium high and saute until fragrant, add the cauliflower and toss to coat well. Cook for 3-4 minutes, just until barely tender. Add the kale and toss quickly to coat with oil and garlic. The kale should cook and start to wilt within just a few minutes, due to being slightly damp. Season generously with salt and pepper as it cooks.
Remove from the heat while still a bit crisp. Serve warm or let cool to room temperature before eating. Enjoy!
